Maffra got its start as a small riverside community during Australia’s gold rush, then later turned into an agricultural town when sugar beets came into high demand. Although both industries have long since declined, you can still visit Maffra Sugarbeet Museum to learn more about the magical crop. Over there, you’d be educated about the region’s history and industrial growth.
In modern times, Maffra has become an idyllic retreat where you can enjoy a cozy holiday fishing in Macalister River as well as some hiking and biking. You can also check out Gippsland Vehicle Collection, a museum full of 160 outstanding vehicles. Furthermore, Maffra is also located near Gippsland Lakes which is a tourist attraction primarily for water sports and boating. So if you’d like to take it easy and get away from the busy cities, then make sure to check out these best Airbnb vacation rentals in Maffra, Australia.
