Suggan Buggan is a ghost town in the remote wilderness of north-eastern Gippsland in Victoria, Australia, 8 km from the border with New South Wales.[1] [2] About five or six people live there permanently. The postcode is 3885.
The traditional custodians of the area are the Australian Aboriginal Bidawal and Nindi-Ngudjam Ngarigu Monero peoples.[3] The name of the locality supposedly derives from the Aboriginal phrase "bukkan bukkan", which describes bags made from grass.[4]
Suggan Buggan is surrounded by the Alpine National Park. There is a free camping area on the Suggan Buggan River. Several historical remains exist, including a well preserved 1860s wooden schoolhouse and an old house.
