Lakes Entrance: Bullock Island Road - Gippsland Lakes

The low, sandy terrain around Lakes Entrance is defined by the Gippsland Lakes and Bass Strait, and it has shaped both the town’s layout and its fishing-and-tourism economy. The Entrance, a channel connecting the lakes to the sea, remains central to boating and commercial fishing. Ninety Mile Beach stretches westward along the Bass Strait coast, while the lakes and wetlands reach inland across East Gippsland. The Cunninghame Arm Footbridge is a familiar waterfront landmark, and Lakes Entrance stands on Gunaikurnai Country, whose Aboriginal heritage is integral to the region’s identity.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
