Orbost, Rural service center in East Gippsland, Australia.
Orbost stretches along Nicholson Street near the Snowy River, surrounded by cattle farms, agricultural fields, and mountain forests producing hardwood timber.
The settlement began in 1842 for cattle grazing, with Scottish migrants establishing the first permanent structures and the post office opening in 1880.
The Slab Hut, constructed in 1872 without nails, stands in Forest Park as a furnished period home representing early European settlement techniques.
The town center contains two supermarkets, multiple shops, hotels, and the Orbost Exhibition Centre with access to rainforest walking tracks.
The Cabbage Tree Creek Flora Reserve houses Victoria's only native palm species, accompanied by walking tracks through forests with numerous bird species.
