The Shire of Orbost was a local government area about {{convert|380|km|mi|0}} east of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of {{convert|9347|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1892 until 1994.

History

Originally, Orbost was part of the Bairnsdale Road District which was created on 30 April 1867. Splitting away as part of the Shire of Tambo in 1882, Orbost was first incorporated as a shire in its own right as the Shire of Croajingolong on 30 May 1892. It received its present name on 17 February 1893. On 3 January 1913 part of its western riding was annexed to Tambo as its Cunninghame Riding.[2]

On 2 December 1994, the Shire was abolished, and merged with City and Shire of Bairnsdale, Shire of Tambo, most of Shire of Omeo and the Boole Boole Peninsula from Shire of Rosedale into the Shire of East Gippsland.[3]

Wards

Orbost was divided into four ridings on 31 May 1895, each of which elected three councillors:
