Gippsland's First City
The Aboriginal name for the Sale area was Wayput.
Two famous Gippsland explorers, Paul Strzelecki and Angus McMillan, passed through the immediate area around 1840.
The first white settler was Archibald McIntosh who arrived in 1844 and established his 'Flooding Creek' property on the flood plain country which was duly inundated soon after his arrival.
In the 1840s, drovers heading south to Port Albert crossed Flooding Creek and were confronted with the difficult marsh country around the Thomson and Latrobe rivers.
A punt operated across the Latrobe River until a toll bridge was erected. A Post Office named Flooding Creek opened here on 30 September 1848 being renamed, somewhat belatedly, as Sale on 1 January 1854
The Historic Swing Bridge is well worth a visit.
Thankssss for the cache beetles2
