Thing to do & see

Gippsland Lakes
Eagle Point is situated on the shores of Lake King. The Mitchell River discharges into Lake King at Eagle Point, where you will find the world' s second longest silt jetty.

Lake King is part of the Gippsland Lakes system , Australia' s biggest and most beautiful expanse of inland waterways with over 400 square kilometers of lakes, rivers, lagoons and islands to explore.

Fishing
In Gippsland, fishing opportunities are plentiful and extend to estuary, river, beach and offshore areas that will appeal to experienced anglers, family groups and beginners alike.

As you would expect when fishing within such a huge expanse of water as the Gippsland Lakes, a boat is a great advantage and there are a number of local boat hire businesses. For land-based anglers there are public jetties and wharves around the lakes system, as well as good access to the banks of the estuarine sections of the Tambo, Nicholson and Mitchell rivers - all of which provide good fishing, particularly for bream.

Black bream is the species sought after by recreational anglers - they are excellent fighters and a superb table fish. Particularly well regarded areas for bream include Hollands Landing,

Paynesville and Lake King. Aside from bream, anglers can expect to catch flathead, tailor, mullet, salmon, whiting and trevally.

Taking a short trip to Paynesville you can visit Raymond Island which has large colony of Koala that were introduced there from Phillip Island in 1953 with only 42 animals being relocated at that time. The island is also an important feeding and nesting ground for many of the local birdlife, species that can be seen on the island are rainbow lorikeets, honeyeaters, sea eagles, black swans, egrets and many species of parrot.

A trip further by boat is the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park, a unique and picturesque park consists of lakes, wetlands, marine and terrestrial environments.

The coast part incorporates the Ninety Mile Beach, a good place to observe shore and ocean birds such as shearwaters, terns and gulls. Within the heathy woodland areas of the park you will see many species of bird including the Common Bronze Wing, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Grey Butcherbird, Eastern Yellow Robin and the gracious Wedge-tailed Eagle. The park supports a large population of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Black Wallabies and the common Brush-tailed and Ring-tailed Possums. Less common mammals include Sugar Gliders, Eastern Pygmy Possums and the endangered New Holland Mouse.
