Overview

Foster sits 174 km south‑east of Melbourne on the South Gippsland Highway, a historic dairying and grazing town that links Wilsons Promontory with the Gippsland coastline. A bronze gold‑panner statue recalls its 1880s gold rush, and in summer the town’s population swells as visitors enjoy the scenic surrounds and seasonal markets that run from November to April.

Local amenities include a hotel, several dining venues, the Foster Golf Club and the Great Southern Rail Trail, which connects east to Yarram and west to Leongatha for cyclists and walkers. Transport is supported by the South Gippsland Highway, the nearby Foster railway station and a small airport, while a police station, fire station and post office serve the community. Housing ranges from rural homes typical of a South Gippsland service centre, accommodating both permanent families and the seasonal influx of visitors.
