Information on Leongatha, 3953

Leongatha is nestled in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges in South Gippsland, approximately 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. This vibrant town sits amid rolling green pastures in Gippsland's famous dairy country, home to one of the southern hemisphere's largest dairy cooperatives.

Leongatha serves as the commercial and cultural hub of South Gippsland. The town features heritage buildings, local galleries, cafes showcasing regional produce, and hosts the popular annual Daffodil Festival each September. It marks the starting point of the Great Southern Rail Trail and provides convenient access to nearby attractions including Wilsons Promontory National Park and the beaches of Inverloch.
