Bena is a small, peaceful country village nestled amongst the rolling green hills of South Gippsland, just a short drive from Korumburra and the charming village of Loch. Surrounded by fertile farmland and dairy country, Bena offers a glimpse of the quieter side of Gippsland, where winding country roads, open paddocks and beautiful rural landscapes create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The village has a long history dating back to the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century, and today it remains a quiet rural community surrounded by some of South Gippsland's most picturesque countryside.
Bena is an ideal place to experience the peaceful beauty of the South Gippsland countryside. The Great Southern Rail Trail passes directly through the area, providing opportunities for walking and cycling through rolling farmland and lush green hills, with the trail connecting Bena to nearby Loch and Korumburra. The surrounding country roads are equally rewarding to explore, particularly the scenic drive towards Kongwak and the Bena–Poowong–Loch loop, where sweeping views across the dairy farms and hills reveal the character of the region. With Korumburra, Loch, Fish Creek and Wilsons Promontory all within easy reach, Bena makes a wonderful base for exploring South Gippsland while returning each day to the tranquillity of a genuine country setting.
