We are close to 2 larger "towns" Wonthaggi and Leongatha which provide most of the employment. If you like the quieter, outdoorsy life but still want to be close to a big city to get your "fix" from time to time, South Gippsland is a good option - especially if you like the sea - beautiful coastline down here. Melbourne is certainly not the be all and end all of Victoria. The major drawback is the employment opportunities which are very limited compared to Melbourne of course.

Inverloch looks great - did you enjoy the bike race going through?
I quite like Orbost, a bit further east, but, as you say, job opportunities zip. Mallacoota too has an appeal with even fewer job opportunities (if that is possible).
There are also some lovely spots along the Gt Ocean Rd which would be fine if you didnt need employment.
