East Gippsland is still an excellent holiday destination that offers a diverse range of activities for visitors, according to chairman of the East Gippsland Regional Business and Tourism Association, Adrian Bromage.
“Despite the recent warning against swimming in the Gippsland Lakes they are still perfectly fine for boating, fishing and enjoying the many attractions offered in the charming lakeside towns of Lakes Entrance, Metung and Paynesville,” Mr Bromage said.
“There are also alternatives at the patrolled beaches at Lakes Entrance and at local swimming pools, while many accommodation houses and caravan parks have their own pools.
"Nearby Lake Tyers is unaffected as are the ocean beaches at the delightful coastal resort towns of Marlo and Cape Conran, Bemm River, Point Hicks and Mallacoota.”
East Gippsland Shire’s director of corporate and economic development John Websdale said there were also extensive national parks, local walking trails, and the popular caves at Buchan to enjoy.
“We also have restaurants, eateries and wineries for relaxing and unwinding that offer some of nature’s best views, along with art galleries and museums,” he said.
“There is also much to do in our wilderness areas, the high country and on our cycle and walking trails.”
Mr Websdale said by visiting the new www.discovereastgippsland.com.au website intending visitors could learn a great deal about the many choices available for visitors and holidaymakers.
“Alternatively people can call the Visitor Information Centres on 1800 637 060 for information as well as accommodation and tour bookings,” he said.
“East Gippsland is a large and ‘Naturally Magic’ region that provides many options for relaxation and enjoyment.”
