LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE | PAGE 85 KALIMNA/LAKES ENTRANCE Lakes Entrance has long been a popular Gippsland holiday spot, especially for young families, and those with a penchant for boating and fishing. This charming waterside town is situated on the edge of the pristine sand and surf of the Ninety Mile Beach, where the Gippsland Lakes meets the Southern Ocean, on the lands of the Gunaikurnai People. Well serviced with accommodation, shops and facilities for coastal holidayers, Lakes Entrance is renowned as a seafood capital, with lots of fish 'n' chip shops around town serving-up delicious freshly caught local fish, thanks to the large number of fishing trawlers operating in the area (in fact, it's southeast Australia's largest fishing port). There's no shortage of things to do in this colourful town, from pedal boats and mini-golf, to fishing and swimming. Bush Cafe and Aboriginal Art Gallery Just ten minutes from Lakes Entrance, nestled in the bush at Kalimna West, you'll find a different kind of rest stop, one that feeds the senses and the spirit. The Bush Cafe and Aboriginal Art Gallery sit quietly within the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GlaWAC) on Scriveners Road. It is a space created and led by Gunaikurnai community. A place to slow down, take in the stories and connect with country. It's peaceful, welcoming and worth pulling over for. The Cafe serves up quality meals, great coffee and home-baked treats in a relaxed setting. Open Monday to Friday, 8:30am-4pm (except public holidays). Find it at GLaWAC, 27 Scriveners Road Kalimna West or visit gunaikurnai.org Your Coastal Gateway to Fishing, Fun, and Culture Lakes Entrance is renowned as a seafood capital, thanks to the large number of fishing trawlers operating in the area.
