Geography
Gippsland is traditionally subdivided into four or five main regions:
- West Gippsland (roughly equivalent to the Shires of Cardinia and Baw Baw)
- South Gippsland (Bass Coast and South Gippsland Shires)
- the Latrobe Valley (Latrobe City and areas of Baw Baw to the north)
- East Gippsland (Shires of Wellington and East Gippsland).
- Sometimes a fifth region, Central Gippsland (corresponding approximately to the Shire of Wellington), is added to refer to the drier zone between the Gippsland Lakes and Yarram.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
