🎬 Have you heard a whisper about The Wayward Wind? 🎬

There’s an exciting feature film on the horizon, and Metung and the Gippsland Lakes are set to play a starring role.

The Wayward Wind is an Australian feature film being developed for production right here in East Gippsland. Written and directed by filmmaker Robin Summons, who spent much of his childhood in the region, the team are planning production in 2027, with theatrical release planned for 2028.

Set against the distinctive landscape of the Gippsland Lakes, the story follows May, a middle-aged long-haul truck driver whose carefully built life on the open road is disrupted when she is invited to her estranged daughter’s wedding in the lakeside community she once called home.

Residents, businesses and community members are invited to meet the filmmaking team behind The Wayward Wind and learn more about the project at a Community Information Session being held at The Metung Hotel on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 3.30pm.

Join the team to hear more about:

🎬 Why the Gippsland Lakes has been chosen as the home of the film
🎥 How a feature film comes together
🛣️ The long road from development to production
🤝 How the production hopes to connect with local businesses and the community
🌿 What you can expect as the project progresses

This is an exciting opportunity to learn more about a major creative project planned for our region and to discover how our local community might be part of it.

We’d love to see you there!

This week we celebrate 155 years of Metung, officially proclaimed a village on 28 June 1871.

After an incredible weekend of the East Gippsland Winter Festival, it couldn’t have been a better time to celebrate. Seeing our community come together to share good food, live music and local culture was a beautiful reminder of what makes Metung so special.

Magic Metung, you’ve got that right 😍.

Metung is truly a jewel in the East Gippsland crown, set at the end of a peninsula, Metung is almost completely surrounded by the waters of Lake King 💦 and Bancroft Bay.

A cosy and inviting winter village 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ to stroll the boardwalk before lunching at one of Gippsland’s favourite pubs, Metung Hotel. All waiting for you when you can return.
