Lakes Entrance Paddle Boats - the truth

My last post on this issue was filled with uncertainty due to a lack of information. Since then I have done some research and investigations which I feel should be made public.                                 
Here I am simply stating THE FACTS from my extensive investigations and despite some very (in my opinion) misleading, doubtful and antagonistic press and "official" comment. After the facts will come some comment and some suggestions as to where we go from here.

Hope to see this again soon

So here are some facts:-

Does the owner/operator of Lakes Entrance Paddle Boats (LEPB) wish to continue in the business to provide this iconic attraction to the region?  - YES

Bitumen and Dirt ( B. A. D.) Drags - on again

The second weekend of December will see B.A.D drags visit the Gippsland Motorplex for the second annual event.  Now don't be alarmed they are not really bad,.... powerful, spectacular, awesome machinery certainly,  the  B. A. D.  simply stands for "Bitumen and Dirt Drags".

Ode to the Bunnings Onion

I found the following on Facebook and could not resist copying it - Just for fun or is it ? 

Are we becoming far too over the top with "OH & S" "PC" etc., ?

We are becoming so scared of litigation etc that our lives are being affected.

on top and round the sides !

North Arm - surprising scenery

North Arm, the Back Lake or the lower reaches of Mississippi Creek, call it what you will, but like its big brother the Front Lake, North Arm has an amazing and varied number of sights to see. If you are not up to the length of the walk along the front lake try the back lake for size. Flat easy going mostly paved and with a couple of opportunities for refreshment and a sit down overlooking the water. Theraputic, restful, relaxing, interesting and ever changing.  We will start our walk from the end of North Arm where it meets Reeve Channel and from there the waters exit into Bass Strait. This can be accessed by crossing the highway bridge and talking the pathway down to the waters edge.

Attraction for Lakes Entrance - and its FREE!

Much has been written of late regarding a downturn in business and visitation in and around Lakes Entrance. Well here is an attraction and something to claim that is free for all and could I believe be the biggest in Victoria even perhaps Australia. What is it?, where is it? you may well ask.

Another Icon of Lakes Entrance Lost ...why?

Surely not Lakes Entrance Paddle Boats, but if many comments on "Facebook" are true this iconic business in Lakes Entrance is closing, but why? Rumors are, that the closure is due to a Shire edict, but this is as yet unconfirmed.

Are we losing our Floating restaurants in Lakes Entrance - why?

The rumour file is ripe around town that Lakes Entrance may well lose one if not two of our iconic floating restaurants. Tragic if true, and from a personal standpoint I will lose my Saturday morning haunt which I have been using for many years, and where one could always be assured of a good meal be it lunch or dinner.  Why, we may well ask.
