Bairnsdale, Regional administrative center in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
The Mitchell River flows through Bairnsdale, creating a natural boundary between the northern and southern sections of this eastern Victorian settlement.
The area transformed from traditional Gunaikurnai territory to a proclaimed shire in 1868, receiving city status in 1990 through substantial regional development.
St Mary's Roman Catholic Church displays murals painted by Francesco Floreani during the 1930s, attracting thousands of visitors to the church annually.
The Bairnsdale railway station connects residents to Melbourne through regular train services, while local buses serve the surrounding East Gippsland region.
Mount Taylor rises near the city boundaries, marking a location where gold prospectors searched for precious metals during the 1850s Victorian gold rush.
