About Bennison
Bennison is a tiny coastal locality in South Gippsland, Victoria, tucked into the hilly terrain near Waratah Bay on the eastern shore of Corner Inlet, approximately 175 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Covering just over 4 square kilometres, it is one of the smallest and most secluded settlements in the South Gippsland Shire. The surrounding landscape blends coastal heathland, rolling green hills, and views across the inlet toward Wilsons Promontory National Park. The locality is sparsely populated and retains a genuinely remote, unspoiled character.
Bennison sits within one of Victoria's most scenic coastal regions, close to the beaches of Waratah Bay and Sandy Point, and the fishing and holiday village of Fish Creek is a short drive inland. The area draws visitors and sea-changers alike who appreciate the untouched natural environment, excellent fishing, surfing, and proximity to Wilsons Promontory — Victoria's southernmost national park. Basic supplies and services are available in Fish Creek and Inverloch, while Foster serves as the main service town for the area. Bennison suits those seeking a genuine coastal escape from city life.
Bennison falls under postcode 3960 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
