How to reach Lakes Entrance, Victoria?
Located approx 320 kilometres east of Melbourne, this resort can be
reached by the Princes Highway leading to the Gippsland Lake.
Originating from Bairnsdale, it winds into ‘Jeremy Point’, which serves
as a watchtower to the 400 square kilometres of Victorian inland
waterway.
When to go?
For a fun-filled vacation, winter is the appropriate time to enjoy a
stroll over the footbridge crossing Cunninghame Arm.
What to expect
This resort is popular for marine activities and you can see fishing
boats moored in the marina. No wonder the Lakes Entrance is dotted with
jetties and fishing fleets. The breath-taking views of Lakes National
Park and the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park are an added plus. If you
cannot fish, you may certainly enjoy the bounty of catch displayed to
visitors. Also, look out for the Stony Creek Railway Bridge, the largest
existing wooden bridge of Australia.
The native residents of this region were the Kurnai and Krauatungalung
tribes. Angus McMillan was the European to first acquaint the world to
Lake Victoria. Subsequently the marsh was inhabited by the Ewing and
Road knight families.
