The Lakes & Wilderness region includes Ninety Mile Beach, the extensive Gippsland Lakes and more than 20 national parks.
The Gippsland Lakes is
Australia’s largest network of inland waterways, made up of Lakes King, Victoria and Wellington and fed by rivers that originate in the Southern Alps. They run parallel to the sea between
Lakes Entrance and
Sale and are separated from it by a narrow strip of shoreline known as the Ninety Mile Beach.
The temperate climate and protected conditions of the Gippsland Lakes make them an extremely popular holiday destination and ideal for sailing, fishing and a whole range of watersports. The major towns in the region are the regional centre of
Bairnsdale, on the Mitchell River,
Paynesville, gateway to the Lakes National Park, and the fishing port of Lakes Entrance. Beyond Lakes Entrance, the eastern tip of Victoria is known for its rugged mountains, national parks (which include the secluded Croajingolong National Park), rivers, lakes and remote beaches.
