Gippsland

31,758 km²

Gippsland is a larger-than-average home for First Nations people compared to similar areas. It is a vast region where life is heavily reliant on cars, with very few residents living within walking distance of basic services. The community is spread across a massive landscape of over 31,000 square kilometres, which explains why so many people live far from shops and schools. While it has a significant First Nations population, the area faces challenges with education and accessibility.
