    Impressive Network Of Lakes
    The Gippsland Lakes cover over 354 SQ KM of waterways and marshes and include three major lakes, Wellington, Victoria and King. They generally are impressive and a great asset and vary depending where you visit. Metung and Paynesville are probably the best but Lakes Entrance is interesting although the town is a little tourist ''tacky''.If you like yachting fishing there is no better place.

    A few nights is enough for elderly people
    Lovely area but not a lot for elderly people. We did a few walks. Wanted to do the Entrance walk but after 25 minutes one way we gave up. Didn't realise it was sand all the way and hard going. We also did a cruise which was really nice but couldn't do the one we wanted as they only run certain cruises on certain days. Worth checking before you go. There are clubs and pokies which we are not interested in. No music which was disappointing. Have to say we didn't have a bad meal in either the Central hotel - we went there for 3 nights - RSL club where we had Chinese food, or Soda Fish which is fine dining, great service but expensive. Also had lunch at the bakery which was ok. Drove to the Marlo hotel one day just to do something different from L.E. which was nice and good to see a bit more of East Gippsland. We spent 5 nights there but would probably recommend 3 or 4 maximum. If you are in to fishing or going to the beach, it's great.
