Inverloch is a pretty Gippsland seaside town on Anderson Inlet, 144 km s-e of Melbourne. Originally inhabited by the Bunarong Aborigines, European settlement began in 1870s with the establishment of a port to ship coal.  As port activities declined due to rail and road infrastructure, Inverloch turned to tourism as well as grazing, wool and dairying to support its economy.
