Meeniyan

Meeniyan is a small township with a tree-lined median strip and variety of boutique stores and cafes. The town slogan “the turning point” provides reference to the fact that at Meeniyan you can choose to travel along the highway to Foster or turn off to explore Fish Creek and Wilsons Promontory.

Meeniyan has justifiably earnt its reputation as the music capital of South Gippsland attracting a vast and eclectic array of Australian and international music acts.

Things to see and do

• It’s difficult not to find a good feed here, with more cafés, delis and eateries than you can poke a sourdough sandwich at
• Shop for art, crafts, jewellery and handmade wares amongst boutique stores
• Head east from the town centre along the Great Southern Rail Trail for 2km until you reach the Meeniyan Bird Hide, an oasis for water birds among the revegetated wetlands
