Lakes Entrance, Victoria is a popular holiday location. It has a reputation as Victoria’s Riverina. It seems to be blessed, with more lovely days of sunshine than Melbourne is.

Lakes Entrance is a relaxed lay back seaside town, charm. Located on the edge of Ninety Mile Beach where the Gippsland Lakes meets the Southern Ocean.

There are lots of family activities here, aside from the water based ones like surfing swimming, fishing, paddleboats, there is mini golf and bicycle tracks through the town and many walkers like me, out on the esplanade. .

Lakes Entrance is renowned as the 'Seafood Capital' due to the large number of fishing trawlers operating in the area.  You can buy fresh cooked scallops, straight off the scallop boats, tied up at the wharf.

Quick facts

Two days in a row, I have taken Reg and Indigo down to the foreshore and set up under a shade cover to paint the view, with acrylics on to stretched canvas. I brought a comfy chair for Reg and packed our lunch.  I hope to paint out most afternoons in this climate and be back in time for Reg to go fishing before dinner.

I prefer to paint on location in oils; I am making a concession to a fast drying medium due to traveling. It is very hard, working with, paint that stays wet, and travel, so I've brought the fast drying paint for this trip.
