Gippsland is traditionally subdivided into at least five main regions - West Gippsland (roughly equivalent to Cardinia Shire and Baw Baw Shire), South Gippsland (Bass Coast Shire and South Gippsland Shire), the Latrobe Valley (Latrobe City and areas of Baw Baw Shire to the north), and EastGippsland (Wellington Shire and EastGippsland Shire).
West Gippsland extends from the southeastern limits of metropolitan Melbourne and Western Port Bay in the west to the Latrobe Valley in the east, and is bounded by the Strzelecki Ranges to the south and the Mount Baw Baw Plateau in the Great Dividing Range to the north.
EastGippsland extends from the western watershed of the Mitchell and Thomson River catchments east and north to the New South Wales border.
