Situated in the South East of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.
In those heady days before the dairy industry was subjected to a controversial
deregulation legislation, the locals reckoned you could count at least
100,000 milking cows grazing within a 16km radius of the large Gippsland
town of Warragul. |

Despite rationalisation, this remains true blue dairy country and is the gateway
to the Gourmet Deli Trail which leads visitors to prime locations where they
can sample the local cheeses, fresh fruit and berries and a wide-range of mouth-watering
meats including beef, venison, emu and kangaroo.
The original township was called Brandy Creek and, on account of the fact that
Warragul is the local Aboriginal word for ‘wild’, one suspects that
some powerful moonshine was brewed in the hills in days of old.
Today Warragul is a law-abiding town where you can tap into the local culture
in the West Gippsland Arts Centre and the Vintage Craft Park. You’ll find
displays of antique and contemporary instruments at the Darum Musical Village
8km out of town.
