3. Where I live Looking East Looking West Lakes Entrance is located on a lake system that connects to the sea through a man made channel. There are islands in the lakes. The lakes stretch over 100km to our west and are fed by 5 main rivers. They are separated from the sea by a narrow strip of sand dunes. The ocean beach is 90 miles long.

4. Looking out the entrance with a fishing boat coming in. The town with lakes on both sides. We have the largest fishing fleet in Australia.
