Sale (pop. 14,000), the administrative and commercial center of Gippsland, developed rapidly after drilling for oil in the Bass Strait began.
The main features of the town are its situation on Lake Guthridge, an attractive pedestrian zone and a number of handsome old buildings, notably the Criterion Hotel with its wrought-iron verandahs. In the tourist information center there is an exhibition on the extraction of oil and natural gas.
