The Gippsland Lakes and river system with its vast array of waterways to explore, is the most exclusive in Australia. This wonderful water system is fed by a huge area of water catchments covering large parts of East and Central Gippsland and includes the main contributing rivers of the Thompson,Latrobe, Avon, Nicholson, Mitchell and Tambo. This network of water is made up of three picturesque lakes, stretching a distance of about 60km.
Beginning with Lake Wellington at the western end it connects via McLennans Strait to Lake Victoria, then through to Lake King and finally, through a man made entrance at the popular tourist resort of Lakes Entrance, to join the Ocean waters of Bass Strait. The waterways include many small Islands. One is the island of Rotamah which is famous for its bird life. Many bird hides have been constructed for visitors to use and the surrounding marshland is home to an abundance of native wildlife and waterbirds.
A unique feature of the Gippsland Lakes is the Mitchell River silt jetties. They are among the longest in the world and run far into the lakes. They are believed to be formed by silt washed down by the Mitchell River system, over a million years ago.
The Gippsland Lakes neighbours two parks, the Lakes National Park taking in Sperm Whale Head and the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park, with their many walking tracks and wonderful camping reserves . A great place to camp and relax and see many of the wildlife that abounds the area.
The indiginous inhabitants of the Gippsland Lakes and Rivers knew they lived in a paradise with it’s fresh and salt water, abundant fish and wildlife. The area sustained their life and formed the basis for the culture of the Gunai (Kurnai) tribal groups for 18,000 years.
The Rivers and Lakes and are a paradise for boaters, fisher folk and those who simply want to indulge their senses. You may wish to do everything there is to do, or just relax and watch life at the water’s edge.
