Shire of South Gippsland

The Shire of South Gippsland may refer to one of two local government entities in the Australian state of Victoria:

  • South Gippsland Shire, created in 1994 and based in Leongatha;
  • Shire of South Gippsland, in existence until 1994 and based in Foster, covering a much smaller area than its modern equivalent.

Famous quotes containing the word south:

    Indeed, I believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair part of commerce upon the sea, and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade, that these railroads from St. Louis, touching deep harbors on the gulf, and communicating there with lines of steamships, shall touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
