Reporter: Adrian Schirrman In early February, Janet and I spent a week cruising the Gippsland Lakes. It was something of a trip ‘down memory lane’ as we had spent many happy times on the Lakes in times gone by. It started with Janet’s dad when we were in our late teens and early twenties - he was very keen with Bulls Boats (regrettably no longer in existence). And continued later on when we lived in Sale through the 1970s.
Our cruise started in Metung where we boarded our chartered motor cruiser from Riviera Nautic. For the next week, we revisited many familiar places - down to Duck Arm, across to McMillan Strait and Paynesville, then up the Tambo River to Johnsonville, back across Lake King to the Steamer Landing in the Bunga Arm just behind the Ninety Mile Beach, then up the Nicholson River to Nicholson, and finally another trip up the Tambo River to Swan Reach. The scenery around the Lakes and the rivers is as good as ever, there is lots of bird life, and the sunrise one morning on the Ninety Mile beach was spectacular. I have attached a few photos.
