Delicious Donuts 'n Dogs plus more from the Great White Buffalo

What a pleasant surprise awaited my return to Lakes Entrance after a short break. The Lakes Country Cruise weekend was on, a recurring event bringing many Hot Rod and car enthusiasts to the area over the June long weekend. This means cars of all descriptions, but mainly Hot Rods all over town, and of course, I have a certain love of all things car ! But what of this mysterious "Great White Buffalo" what is it?, where is it?, why am I writing about it?. Well another love of mine is food......,

Beware when Burning Off - are you confused?


Having it would seem, managed to negotiate another Fire Danger Period in the East Gippsland region without any major fires, it is now a time to think about preparations and works to minimize the risk of fires in the coming season 2018-19. Gee it comes round quickly doesn’t it? This may seem early but work now can minimize work later when perhaps you have other commitments to manage simultaneously, and ensure that your land is well prepared to minimize the fire risk.

Lakes Entrance's iconic Bullock Island put to the sword


As a Facebook contributor put it “ What have they done to Bullock island ? I think it is a maze of pine posts with limited parking what’s your thoughts..”   The responses included… “Building Donald Trumps wall; Waiting for them to grow; It’s to stop the crabs pulling tourists into the lake; Bloody confusing; Shire must have shares in pine factory”. I could go on with many more adverse comments.
Light hearted in some ways, I am all for a joke, but what has been done is past a joke. Let’s look at this from another perspective. Bullock Island desperately needed an upgrade, not football pitches please, just a clean-up, the provision of some basic amenities and the road kept flat and easily accessible for all. Access to the water’s edge for parking and fishing etc.
