22.01.2022 Exploring the Entrance to the Gippsland Lakes and saying Gday to the Seals of the Entrance walls with #LakesExplorer5! Lakes Explorer Sea Safari & Water Taxi - Lakes Entrance

22.01.2022 A massive thank you to Allambi Holiday Apartments for sponsoring a boat in our upcoming Easter Sunday Dry Regatta.

22.01.2022 Fancy a feed of fresh seafood? Cant get any fresher than straight off the wharf at LEFCOL on Bullock Island or from the skippers themselves from the trawlers i...n town. If youre looking for something to do this weekend, a day trip to Lakes Entrance and other towns around the Gippsland Lakes should be high on your list. Weather forecast looks great and East Gippsland is open for business. PS: I will be doing the green prawns I just bought in a chilli, garlic sauce with freshly squeezed lemon! Maybe washed down with a Lightfoot Chardonnay (dont worry, it will be straight back to reds after that). #lovegippsland

Weather forecast looks great and East Gippsland is open for business. PS: I will be doing the green prawns I just bought in a chilli, garlic sauce with freshly squeezed lemon! Maybe washed down with a Lightfoot Chardonnay (don’t worry, it will be straight back to reds after that). #lovegippsland

01.01.2022 On an adventurous cruise of the Gippsland Lakes out of Lakes Entrance, Rigby Island is an excellent place to see various rare birds that breed on the island - L...ittle Tern, Fairy Tern and Hooded Plover. Barrier Landing, at the top of the image next to that inviting water (Hopetoun Channel - a boaters paradise) is a popular boat access jetty for secluded day trip picnics and a great place to stretch your #WanderVictoria legs on the Ninety Mile Beach! Inspired by Gippsland Peter Yan Studio (@yantastic) #LoveEastGippsland tagged us into this awesome Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park drone photo. Thanks Peter!
