Travel guide – phillips island and gippsland

Go back to travel guide home

Overview

The Gippsland region is an attractive day trip getaway from the city of Melbourne with its lakes, forest, dramatic coastline and historic townships. It is also gourmet country, filled with cheese-makers, wineries, fruit farms and markets. Phillip Island, just offshore, offers the chance to learn and experience being up close and personal with a variety of wildlife, from fairy penguins to fur seals and koala bears. The island also has several outstanding dive sites, and is surrounded by some of the best surfing and swimming beaches in Victoria.

Climate

Most of the state is in the warm and temperate band of the south east corner of Australia with warm and dry summers and cool, wet winters; however temperatures can vary widely. The Australian Alps in the northeast have snow from June to September, while the eastern highlands, Gippsland and the Otway Ranges to the west receive the heaviest rainfall. Melbourne has a variable climate that is well known for its four-seasons-in-a-day weather patterns, but generally June and July are the coldest months, January and February are the hottest, and October is the wettest time of year.
