Discover peaceful towns, superb sunsets and water for days on one of the major lakes comprising the shimmering Gippsland Lakes.
Lake Victoria is one of the major lakes comprising the shimmering Gippsland Lakes. With Lake Wellington to the west, Lake King to the east, and Ninety Mile Beach to the south there is certainly no lack of water. This is truly a Mecca for those with a boating, fishing or water sport bent.
The hit list of places to explore include Bunga Arm, Sperm Whale Head, Ocean Grange, Barrier Landing and Duck Arm, most of which are only accessible by boat.
Adjacent to Loch Sport, Lake Victoria is a shallow body of water and is frequented by speed boats and adventurists testing out their skills including donuts. Use McLennan Strait Eastern Entrance for a serene journey to the lake.
Highlights of Lake Victoria
- Launch your tinnie and head for Rotamah Island for a secluded bushland delight and check out the easternmost tip of the peninsula, Point Wilson, the site of the settler’s homestead.
- Watch the bobbing vessels at the Loch Sport Marina, silhouetted by the orange glow of the setting sun.
- If you aren’t BYO-ing, you can hire a boat from Bulls Cruisers; no license is required.
- Discover lake islands only reachable by boat, like the wildlife-abundant Raymond Island.
- Hire a kayak or canoe entering at Hollands Landing.
