A new season…

As we welcome winter in Gippsland with a new issue of Gippsland Life magazine, we say goodbye to our former editor and publisher Doug Pell. I would like to personally thank Doug for his 16 years of hard work and dedication to the magazine that now provides me with a great platform to promote our lovely Gippsland region.

There is plenty to see and do in Gippsland over winter. Why not take a day trip to Briagolong and experience the amazing historical township, or walk on one of its many, beautiful hiking trails. You can warm up after your walk with a glass of wine and a delicious meal at the Briagolong Hotel.

Gippsland has everything you could be looking for, from pristine beaches and snowy alpine peaks to lush green national parks, but if it’s too cold outside, why not curl up somewhere warm with Gippsland Life magazine and read some of our amazing local stories. In this issue, we feature two prominent local artists Regina Dudek and Dawn Stubbs. Their work and stories are well worth a read.

I hope you enjoy this issue of Gippsland Life magazine, take care and stay warm.

Melissa Cane, Editor
