EAST GIPPSLAND FIELD DAYS: APRIL 29TH-30TH
The East Gippsland Field Days was started in 1986 by members of the Lindenow Lions Club.
For the first two years the new East Gippsland Field Days took place on the Mitchell River flats at Lindenow and then transferred to Walpa on the western side of Lindenow. Here it ran for a further 5 years and grew to having 120 exhibitor sites. Unfortunately, severe floods in 1990 forced the cancellation of the event for that year with all of the site being under water, and when the lease ran out on the site an alternative location was sought.
In 1993 the Bairnsdale aerodrome was selected as a suitable site to run the event and the Field Days moved to its current home on land leased from the East Gippsland Shire. The aerodrome is located only 7 kilometres from the regional city of Bairnsdale and has been developed into a dedicated event site.
Over the years, the East Gippsland Field Days Committee has invested many thousands of dollars back into the site to improve exhibitor facilities and infrastructure such as roads and drainage, power, water, hard surfaced areas and undercover sites.
In 2011, the events 25th year some 8-10,00 visitors are expected through the gate. With more than 300 dedicated exhibitor sites the East Gippsland Field Days has grown to be one of the most iconic events within the East Gippsland Shire.
