A must- stop and see

Edging lush green farming flats, native bush mountains and the mighty Tambo River, Bruthen is the gateway to the High Country. The town itself becomes a hustling stopover as paths cross with travellers heading North, South, East or West. The East Gippsland Rail Trail also makes a perfect stop here, And there is little wonder as to why it's such a great place to take a break. Manicured lawns sit under shady trees and gorgeous gardens in the main street, perfect for a picnic and to let the children stretch their weary legs. 

Then it offers shops of country charm and character to browse with leisure and an art gallery featuring local talented paintings, homewares and gifts. A children's playground and skate park are set just to the western end of the township. The local brewery offers up not just great beer, but food and atmosphere to match, as does the local pub (hint: Evening sunset views are magic). Each of the cafes in town boast local produce and home-style goodies which will have you longing for a return to this little gem. In the meantime, be sure to take home some of East Gippsland’s offerings.
