And to wake up to a vast array of birds including Rainbow Loroketes, Eastern Rosella’s, Crimson Rosella’s, kookaburras and even Black Cockatoos. Across the lake in the morning sparkle of the sun, the Pelicans and Black Swans swim and fish. Dolphins often grace the lake and a grand variety of fish are available to anglers. Lakes National Park at the other end of town with supermarket, RSL, Hotel, variety of accommodation and activities. Such a natural and unspoilt area so close to Melbourne and the Eastern areas of Gippsland.
