Experience the Natural Beauty of Bruthen State Forest
Located approximately 300 kilometres east of Melbourne, Bruthen State Forest offers a diverse range of experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. The forest is rich in history, with evidence of both Indigenous and European settlement.
The Gunai people have a deep connection to the land, with many Aboriginal sites and stories still present in the region. European settlers arrived in the 1840s, initially using the area for pastoral purposes before establishing farms and timber industries. Remnants of this history can be seen in the region, including historic buildings and infrastructure.
The forest is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, featuring Box Ironbark forests, warm temperate rainforests, and open grassy areas. These diverse habitats support a rich array of plant and animal life, including threatened species and iconic Australian wildlife such as koalas.
For visitors, the forest offers opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling, and exploring the region’s cultural heritage. The East Gippsland Rail Trail provides a scenic route for cyclists and walkers, while the tranquil waters of the Tambo River offer opportunities for swimming, canoeing, and fishing.
