East Gippsland acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Monero and the Bidawel people as the Traditional Custodians of the land that encompasses East Gippsland Shire. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in East Gippsland, their Elders past and present.

Be brave and cave

Deep, dark and magical. Exploring 300 million year old underground caves around Buchan is certainly something most people don't do everyday. So grab your head torch and join in the adventure of caving. Anyone can enjoy the delights and discoveries of the underground world by visiting the Royal Cave and Fairy Cave within the Buchan Caves Reserve. For those experienced folk, the nestled Buchan Valley hides hundreds of limestone caves just waiting to be explored. So get your stalactites and stalagmites organised for a super thrilling day out.
