The region is well known for its tourist destinations, such as Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, Walhalla, and the Strzelecki Ranges.
The western part of the region around Western Port is mostly flat, while the eastern part consists of low rolling hills. To the north, these hills become steeper as they merge into the Great Dividing Range. In this area are located the historic gold-mining town of Walhalla, amid mountains forming the west of Alpine National Park, and Baw Baw National Park, a minor winter ski resort.
South Gippsland is a well-watered region consisting of low, rolling hills descending to the coast in the south and the Latrobe Valley in the north. The Latrobe River flows into Lake Wellington to the east of Sale and includes in its drainage basin a significant part of central Gippsland. The region conventionally known as the Latrobe Valley, however, occupies a smaller area centred on the three major towns of Moe, Morwell and Traralgon.
Low granite hills continue into Wilsons Promontory, the southernmost point of Victoria and mainland Australia. 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.
Ninety Mile Beach on the northern section of the Gippsland coast is believed to be the third longest uninterrupted beach in the world. For the northern part of its route the beach runs along a sandbar on what amounts to a series of tidal islands and behind which are several large lakes and numerous shallow littoral lagoons.
