This is the mecca for trout. There is no doubt when it comes to mountain streams, tying flies or spinning a lure that this Great Alpine Region is the top of the wish list for many anglers. You will be hooked!
The dancing of the fly-line in the air over fast flowing streams can be seen repeatedly at almost every river bend through this region. You can fish alone, with friends or with a tour group. But one thing is sure you will be lured by the location and triumph of the trout. Boating is possible in some of the alpine lakes with small boats or ‘tinnies’’. Canoes and kayaks are favoured in some streams, shooting the rapids or leisurely exploring the river banks.
Stringybark Cottages of Sarsfield have won the Tourism and Accommodation Category of the Bendigo Bank Gippsland Business Awards. They are one of a number of East Gippsland Businesses that made it to the finals stage of the awards, which were supported by East Gippsland Shire’s economic development unit. The other East Gippsland finalists were Vegco for manufacturing and fabrication, Jayco Gippsland in the new business category and Lakes Entrance Waverley House Cottages, also in the tourism and accommodation category. Stringybark Cottages are located on 100 acres in the foothills of East Gippsland 19 kilometres from Bairnsdale on the Great Alpine Road and offer the tranquillity of an eco-friendly private retreat, surrounded by forest and farmland. Judges commended Stringybark Cottages for their environment and sustainable business practices. They were presented with their award at the Presentation Dinner recently held in Traralgon with over 300 attendees.
East Gippsland Shire Council congratulate the operators on their achievements.
