South Gippsland, a region of Gippsland in Victoria, Australia, is a well-watered region consisting of low, rolling hills descending to the coast in the south and the Latrobe Valley in the north. Low granite hills continue into Wilsons Promontory, the southernmost point of Victoria and mainland Australia. Rivers are generally very short and impossible to dam owing to the lack of potential storage sites, but groundwater of good quality is readily available. The major industries are forestry and dairy farming, and the principal towns include Cowes (on Phillip Island), Leongatha, Korumburra, Wonthaggi and Foster.

  • South Gippsland, a region of Gippsland in Victoria, Australia, is a well-watered region consisting of low, rolling hills descending to the coast in the south and the Latrobe Valley in the north. Low granite hills continue into Wilsons Promontory, the southernmost point of Victoria and mainland Australia. Rivers are generally very short and impossible to dam owing to the lack of potential storage sites, but groundwater of good quality is readily available. The major industries are forestry and dairy farming, and the principal towns include Cowes (on Phillip Island), Leongatha, Korumburra, Wonthaggi and Foster. Wilsons Promontory National Park features eucalypt forests and rainforests as well as its famous beaches, and is one of the most popular holiday areas in Victoria. Linked to mainland South Gippsland via a bridge at San Remo, Phillip Island is also a major tourist destination, noted particularly for its surf beaches, nightly Penguin Parade and Grand Prix track. 12,000 years ago, South Gippsland formed part of a land bridge to Tasmania the remnants of which is the Furneaux Group of islands. A ferry operates from Welshpool to Lady Barron Island, part of the Furneaux Group. (en)
  • Le Gippsland sud est une section de la région de Gippsland de l'État de Victoria en Australie. Elle est une région constitué de collines basses et vallonnées qui descendent vers la côte au sud et la vallée Latrobe au nord. Bien arrosées et verdoyantes, les collines de granit se poursuivent vers la péninsule de Wilson, le point le plus méridional de l'État et de l'Australie continentale. Les rivières sont généralement très courtes et impossibles à endiguer en raison du manque de sites potentiels pour en faire des réservoirs. Les eaux souterraines sont cependant de bonne qualité est facilement disponible. Les principales industries sont la foresterie et de l'élevage laitier. Les principales villes sont Cowes (sur Phillip Island), Leongatha, Korumburra, Wonthaggi et Foster. Le parc national du promontoire de Wilson, le site le plus connu de la région, est formé de forêts pluviales et d'eucalyptus, ainsi que de plages très prisées. Il est donc l'un des lieux de villégiature les plus populaires de Victoria. Phillip Island, lié au continent via un pont à San Remo, est aussi une destination touristique majeure pour ses plages de surf, la parade nocturne des manchots pygmés et le Circuit de Phillip Island. Il y a 12 000 ans, la région faisait partie d'un pont terrestre vers la Tasmanie dont les restes est constitué de l'archipel Furneaux. Un traversier relie Welshpool à l'île Lady Barron de l'archipel. * Portail de l’Australie (fr)
