Welcome to Autumn issue 54...

In this issue we have gone somewhat back to how we were a while ago with those home-grown Gippsland features, where we get to share and discover some of the great people, towns, events that make this region undoubtedly the best.

Events are returning to Gippsland. In this edition we have the Mirboo North Italian Festa and Meeniyan Garlic Festival that are bringing the people back to the region after the well-known issues that affected us all. It is wonderful seeing people turn up to events in droves.

We also welcome our new member to the team at Gippsland Lifestyle, Megan Woolfe. Megan comes from West Gippsland and she brings with her, further insights into several new features and ideas for our magazine, as well as her love of Gippsland.

The Middle of Everywhere is gaining great momentum and one of the most interesting features is that of the Heritage Listed Kilmany Park. This grand old building is over 100 years old, and it has a fascinating story to tell.

Meeniyan, our South Gippsland highlighted town is nestled near the Tarwin River and only a ten-minute drive from Leongatha. This very popular town keeps garnering great interest from locals and visitors to the area.

Enjoy the magazine, it has well over 25 features, covering considerable diversity; and remember whilst in Gippsland, always SHOP LOCAL!
