Gippsland LakesAustralia's largest navigable inland waterwayFed by rivers including the Mitchell, Nicholson and Tambo rivers originating in East Gippsland's High Country, and occupying over 400 square kilometres, the Gippsland Lakes are Australia’s largest navigable inland waterway system. Separated from the ocean by the Ninety Mile Beach, the Gippsland Lakes extend for 90 km along the Victorian coast and feature the Lakes National Park, the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park and the Mitchell River Silt Jetties. The construction of the permanent entrance to the Gippsland Lakes in the 1890's guaranteed access for shipping trade between Melbourne and the ports of Sale, Bairnsdale and Bruthen.
