Lakes Entrance, Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lakes Entrance is a tourist resort and fishing port in eastern Victoria, Australia. It is situated 320 kilometres east of Melbourne near a managed, man-made channel connecting the Gippsland Lakes to the Bass Strait. At the 2006 census, Lakes Entrance had a population of 4093.
The township was originally named Cunninghame, the Post Office of that name opening on 5 February 1870. It was renamed Lakes Entrance on 1 January 1915.[2]
[edit] Description
Lakes Entrance, which lies almost at sea level, can be accessed from Melbourne via Bairnsdale and the town of Kalimna to the north west by a stretch of the Princes Highway, which snakes down and around a point protruding into the Gippsland Lakes known as "Jemmy's Point". Spectacular views of the entrance and of the Lakes can be seen from various look-outs on Jemmy's Point. The Princes Highway leaves the north east side of the town through hilly countryside towards Nowa Nowa and Orbost.
Lakes Entrance is predominantly a fishing- and tourism-driven town; the main beach front is a safe harbour for many major commercial fishing and recreational watersport operations. The surf beach is patrolled by the Lakes Entrance Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC)[3] between November and March every summer, with lifeguard patrols from late December to late January. The waterfront is populated by restaurants, shops and caravan parks. The town's main residential areas lie farther inland.
Lakes Entrance is a very popular spot for camping in caravan parks and in free camping spots in Colquhoun State Forest [4]
The town has an Australian Rules football team competing in the East Gippsland Football League. [5]
Nearby major towns include Bairnsdale and Orbost.
Minor towns include Swan Reach, Johnsonville, Kalimna, Nicholson, Metung and Lake Tyers.
Lakes Entrance boasts beautiful beaches and lakes
