Things To Do
in Moe

Freshly caught trout from Gippsland streams or stocked lakes served pan-fried or smoked; look for trout on menus at local pubs and lake-side eateries.

Must-Try!

Locally reared Gippsland beef or lamb, often featured in roasts, steaks or pub meals—good places to try these are local bistros and hotel restaurants.

Austalian-style meat pies and sausage rolls from Moe bakeries make a satisfying quick meal; try a traditional beef pie with a side of mushy peas or tomato sauce.

Gippsland is known for dairy—look for artisan cheeses, curds and creams at farmers' markets and specialty shops.

Held regularly in the region (check local listings), this market sells fresh produce, baked goods, cheeses and small-batch products—ideal for tasting Gippsland flavours and buying picnic supplies.

Occasional food trucks and pop-up stalls appear at events and market days around Moe and neighbouring towns—great for trying casual street-food style meals.

People are generally relaxed and informal—greet with a friendly 'hello' or 'G'day', and a casual demeanour is normal.

Respect private farmland and stay on designated trails in parks; follow biosecurity rules where posted (e.g., cleaning footwear between areas).

Acknowledge Traditional Owners of the land (Gunaikurnai and other local nations) when participating in cultural events; consider checking for Indigenous-led tours or cultural information.

Be on time for tours, reservations and community events; small businesses appreciate advance notice for changes.

Tipping in Australia is optional; rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for exceptional service in restaurants is appreciated but not required. For casual cafes and pubs, tipping is uncommon—cash tips go to staff or tip jar if present.

Card payments (tap and pay/contactless) are widely accepted in shops, cafes and services; carry some cash for small markets, older establishments or rural spots. Mobile payment apps are also commonly used.

Warm to occasionally hot days with mild evenings; ideal for lake activities, picnics and walking. Expect more flies/insects near water—bring sun protection and plenty of water.

Crisp mornings and pleasant daytime temperatures with colourful foliage in higher spots; a great time for scenic drives and outdoor photography.

Cool to cold weather; occasional frost and, at higher elevations (Baw Baw), snow—bring warm layers if heading to the alpine areas. Lower-elevation Moe is chilly but rarely snowy.

Seasonal wildflowers, warming temperatures and increased bird activity; perfect for hikes and visiting farms. Weather can be changeable—pack a lightweight waterproof layer.

Small regional airport serving the Latrobe Valley area—mainly for private, charter or occasional regional services; close and convenient for local access.

Secondary Melbourne-area airport (south-west of Melbourne) offering some domestic flights and low-cost carriers; roughly 1.5–2 hours drive from Moe depending on route.

Regional airport near Sale (east of Moe), useful for accessing East Gippsland and sometimes offering charter or light aircraft services—check availability.
