Overview

Nicholson is a small town in East Gippsland, Victoria, positioned 295 km east of Melbourne between the larger centres of Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. At the 2021 Census the community numbered 1,322 residents. The town sits on the Princes Highway and alongside the Nicholson River, giving direct road links and scenic riverfront views. Although the railway station closed, the East Gippsland Rail Trail crosses the north of the town and a historic sign marks the former station site, supporting walking and cycling routes.

Local amenities include a post office that has served the area since 1885, Nicholson Primary School just 300 m away, and a fire station within two kilometres. A substantial boat ramp on the river’s west bank provides picnic, toilet and barbecue facilities, encouraging outdoor recreation. The nearby Nicholson Winery weather station adds a touch of regional character. Together these services contribute to a relaxed, community‑focused lifestyle with easy access to transport and recreation.
