If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 16 miles away, Bairnsdale is worth the drive. Among the first stops you make here should be Mitchell River Silt Jetties Gippsland Lakes Reserve, Robb Street Gallery and Bairnsdale Historical Museum. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Lakes Entrance, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Eastern Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Lakes Entrance Golf Club and Wyanga Park Winery.)
