Don’t panic. You will not be climbing down rope ladders and crawling through narrow tunnels. The famous Buchan Caves are for you. Pathways, lights and guides unveil a glowing paradise.
Take the family and enjoy caving in a civilised way. Cave tours operate daily at scheduled times, closing only on Christmas Day. Even though there are illuminated pathways and guides, feel the rush of excitement that going underground brings. Dare to be different and hook up with a caving specialist and venture into some non commercial caves. Can you take the excitement and thrills?
Recently appointed chief executive officer of Destination Gippsland Limited, Terry Robinson recently visited East Gippsland to have his first official look around the region.
Mr Robinson said the visit had been most useful to discuss tourism issues with industry, local government and land managers.
“It was also a delight to experience some of the East Gippsland’s wonderful tourism assets.” He said.
During his visit Mr Robinson met with represen tatives of East Gippsland Shire, Parks Victoria, Department of Sustainability and Environment and members of East Gippsland Regional Business and Tourism Association.
Shire director corporate and economic development John Websdale said the Shire was pleased with Mr Robinson’s appointment to Destination Gippsland Limited and looked forward to working closely with him over the next three years.
“He brings high level skills in tourism, particularly from his former role as Operations Manger with Phillip Island Nature Park as well as his current membership of the Board of Tourism Alliance Victoria,” he said.
Chair of East Gippsland Regional Business and Tourism Association and East Gippsland Shire Tourism Advisory Board and member of the East Gippsland Marketing Board, Adrian Bromage also welcomed the visit.
“We are confident Mr Robinson will be impressed with the quality of tourism destinations and products in East Gippsland and the commitment of operators not only for tourism in our own region but also across Gippsland as a whole,” he said.
“The industry is looking forward to a close association with Destination Gippsland to maximise tourism outcomes.”
