 Bairnsdale, Victoria - Travelmate
Bairnsdale, East Gippsland’s only city and western gateway to the Lakes and Wilderness Region, boasts many fine old buildings.
Romance has it that the name Bairnsdale was bestowed upon the town shortly after the arrival of pioneer Scottish settler, Archie McLeod, on account of the large number of children, or bairns, conceived in the fledgling settlement.
The more prosaic explanation is that the name is a corruption of Bernisdale, which McLeod chose to call his property after his ancestral home on the Isle of Skye.
