About Us - Gippsland Immigration Park
About THE GIPPSLAND HERITAGE WALK
The Gippsland Heritage Walk is made up of 72 panels on the history of Gippsland around the lake at Kernot Hall, Princes Way, Morwell.
The Gippsland Immigration Park committee is an incorporated body of volunteers who are dedicated to recognising the contribution of immigrants to the development of Gippsland and to promoting the history of the Gippsland region.
The committee has been actively supported by State and Federal Government grants, Latrobe City Council and its officers and many local people and businesses.
We continue to look for ways to improve the park and to its continuing maintenance in partnership with Latrobe City Council.
