Showcasing Gippsland beauty
Mr Chester said, "The winning images include an electrical storm passing over the Port of Sale, captured by Grant McKillop, a crested tern flying over Lake Tyers beach, photographed by Sue Allison and a very cute, curious echidna peeping out from a tree stump taken by Jessica Owen. All three will receive a hamper of local products from Banksia Fine Foods and a '100% Authentic Gippslander' t-shirt."
