"In 2007 the Gippsland Immigration Wall of Recognition was opened. In 2008 the project won the Victorian Heritage and Culture Award in the Victorian Sustainable Communities Tidy Towns competition.
Having successfully completed the Immigration Wall of Recognition the Gippsland Immigration Park Committee looked to the development of the area adjacent to the Immigration Park. It was agreed that the ideal project would be a Gippsland Heritage Walk. Approached to Latrobe City and Regional Development Victoria resulted in support for the project so work began in 2010.

Hundreds of hours of labour were involved in the construction of the path and the stations along the walk where the information panels were located. Many more hours were involved in the collection of images from across Gippsland, in researching Gippsland history and finally in writing the text. The graphic artist then brought together the text and images to create the panel designs you see on the walk. In this book, you will find the text and images for each of the 72 panels along the walk which tell the history of Gippsland.

We have taken Gippsland to be from the Koo Wee Rup swamp to the border and from the coast to the Great Dividing Range. " -- From the forward.
