Situated by the Thomson River near the Latrobe River junction, Sale grew on the back of the gold rush and became Gippsland's first city in 1950. Although largely considered an industrial town, with the nearby Bass Strait oilfields providing a large part of the town's economy, Sale has a lot more to offer. The Port of Sale is being redeveloped into a modern recreational precinct. There are many good cafes and restaurants, and a number of fine-art galleries and craft outlets. The lakes near Sale are home to the unique Australian black swan – the bird that has become a symbol for the town.
