Small, unassuming farm gates mark the boundaries of properties that have been passed down, each holding its own quiet stories of resilience and connection to this particular stretch of South Gippsland. The sense of community here is not loud or ostentatious, but a steady, reliable hum, like the distant thrum of a tractor on a quiet afternoon.
