Shire of Wellington

Shire of Wellington combines working pastoral country with a far-reaching coastline in a way that reflects its position within Victoria’s Gippsland region. Sale, the municipal centre, stands amid low plains shaped by rivers and wetlands. The Thomson River crosses the shire, while the Gippsland Lakes and Ninety Mile Beach define much of its Bass Strait edge. This is Gunaikurnai Country, and its living First Peoples heritage remains fundamental to the area. Sale’s Port of Sale, opened in 1888, recalls the town’s role in Gippsland’s nineteenth-century transport network. Dairy and beef farming, forestry and fishing still give Wellington a strongly regional character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Shire of Wellington.
