Lakes Entrance Visitor Information Centre

Lakes Entrance Visitor Information Centre is the first place to come for information on the Lakes & Wilderness Region. Our best known destination, the Gippsland Lakes, is the biggest and most beautiful expanse of inland waterways in the southern hemisphere. Walk across the sand dunes and you're right on the famous Ninety Mile Beach.

We have eight magnificent National Parks on our coast and in the high country- and that's more than any other region of Australia. The role-call includes the Alpine National Park (Victoria's biggest), the Snowy River National Park and the UNESCO- listed Croajingalong National Park that embraces 100 kilometres of coastline.

We have two of Australia's greatest driving routes. The Great Alpine Road, which winds through the Alpine National Park and Victoria's high country. The Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive, which in East Gippsland, starts at Croajingalong National Park and ends at the Gippsland Lakes.

And, with the country's biggest fishing port at Lakes Entrance, we're the fishing capital of Australia. (Just ask any serious recreational angler who's fished here.)

But we're also very well known for doing very little at all. You could book a lakeside apartment or canal villa with a boat moored at your private jetty, and never leave the waterways for your entire holiday. Or stay in a country inn way up in the clear mountain air of Victoria's alpine country and simply wander through the wildflowers. Just one step from heaven? We think so.
