Known as the gateway to not only East Victoria but Gippsland Lakes, 90 Mile Beach and various other tourist attractions, Sale, Australia is about 260 kilometers from Melbourne.
Sale is home to about 13,000 people.
In 1840 this town was founded as Flooding Creek, by the first settler Archibald McIntosh who made this area a settlement by setting up a store, butchers shop, and forge.
The name was later changed in 1851 to be named after General Sir Robert Sale, a British army officer.
Take a moment to check out the video below of the Sale wetlands to get an impression of the beauty of Gippsland.
