Seaspray

History

The original inhabitants of the area were the Gunaikurnai or Kurnai people, who have lived in the Gippsland area for over 20,000 years. In 1943, seven people were injured at Seaspray Beach, two seriously, after a target being towed by an RAAF plane struck a number of people on the beach. Seaspray hosted an overnight stop on the Great Victorian Bike Ride during its seventh running in 1990, and again in 2017.
