Seaview Drive

Glorious day today, John was up early as he had to drop the car at the Auto Electricians to be wired up for our new trailer, then he had a doctors appointment...he keeps coming out in bruises everywhere, and its not from me beating him up :)..so the doctor has taken some blood for tests, he goes back friday for the results...speaking of bruises I woke up with this one this morning and I have no idea how I got it.....

After lunch we went for yet another drive to check out another lookout ..the views are amazing of this place..the water ways are just glorious no wonder every second person here has a boat.. wish we had ours here :(

However, for one of the best views of the area, we drove along the appropriately named Seaview Parade  with unparalleled views over the town centre, marinas, Cunninghame Arm and down to the Ninety Mile Beach.

As a holiday town with a large emphasis on water activities and a high concentration of marinas and jetties along its extensive lake coastline, it is no surprise that Lakes Entrance is the base of one of Australia's largest fishing fleets. The Fisherman's Co-Op, located on Bullock island, sells a wide variety of freshly caught fish to the public, as we sampled for dinner the other night...

Then  we went back into town and parked the car and went for a walk across the popular landmark footbridge, which crosses Cunninghame Arm, links the town centre with the sand dunes and windswept coastline of Bass Strait.

 A 5 kilometre return walk from the footbridge along the narrow peninsula of land which separates the still waters of Cunninghame Arm from the choppy waters of Bass Strait takes you along some scenic coastline and coastal bush to the Flagstaff Lookout which provides good views over the man-made entrance into the Gippsland Lakes, but of course we didnt do that :) Just wish I was fit enough though....
