Gateway to East Gippsland
Gateway to East Gippsland
Bairnsdale, at the gateway to the Lakes and Wilderness region of East Gippsland, still retains the quiet country pace and fresh air that you don't get in a bigger city. Not quite city, not quite country. On the banks of Mitchell River, Bairnsdale manages to retain a unique atmosphere as the commercial and administrative hub of the region.
Close to lakes, rivers, mountains and forests, Bairnsdale is the perfect destination for a year round enjoyment. Blessed with pleasant, wide streets and award winning gardens, it's a relaxed place where visitors are shown old time country friendliness and courtesy. Boasting a full range of modern facilities, major city shopping (and prices) and great variety of accommodation and eating houses, Bairnsdale is an ideal base from which to enjoy the many natural attractions and curiosities of the stunning surrounding country.
Bairnsdale's Cultural, historical and exciting attractions start in the centre of town Here you can begin on the Arts Network Trail, visit nature reserves, or revisit local history. Recreational facilities abound. Enjoy some of the best fishing. Golf, a game of bowls, visit our Aquatic and recreational Centre or canoe, walk or ride along the Mitchell. Try your luck on the pokies or flutter at the horse races. View some magnificent scenery on a joy flight - or try the exhilaration of a parachute jump. Bird - watching in the hides of Macleod Morass boardwalk; a rare deep freshwater marsh and sanctuary for over 130 species of water birds.
The Bairnsdale and District Business and Tourism Associations welcomes you to Bairnsdale, gateway to our unique corner of the state. The Bairnsdale Visitors Center, next door to the famous St.Mary's church, has an extension range of information to help you enjoy your visit.
