GIPPSLAND LAKES

NICHOLSON, SWAN REACH & JOHNSONVILLE

Located only kilometres apart on the Princes Highway. Rivers are the source of life, and these two rivers give life to three towns. The pursuit of fishing and all it offers is the daily bread of most locals here. Chat to one and you might learn a secret or two.

Nicholson is the first town out of Bairnsdale heading north. Here the majestic Nicholson River flows through the town. Delight in the serene river scenery, with the backdrop of the old railway bridge and boats moored below. The Tambo River is accessible by turning off the highway in Johnsonville hamlet. Here a floating pontoon & boat ramp allow boats to explore the river. Begin your Twin Rivers Farm-Food and Wine Trail here. The Tambo River takes pride of place in Swan Reach, cutting right through the centre of the small village. Giant gums line the banks. Picnic here or enjoy a snooze in the afternoon sun. All three destinations have everything you need, whether you fish or not. Accommodation choices are varied.
