02 — The Lake

Five hundred kilometres of shoreline. Pick a bay and make it yours.

Located two hours northeast of Melbourne, Lake Eildon is the heart of Victoria's High Country — built for water, ringed by bush, and quiet enough to hear the morning glass-off.

With 515 kilometres of shoreline and 138 square kilometres of open water, there's room for the houseboat crowd, the trout chasers, and the families who just want a swim and a campfire.
