We have been hosting school groups - usually years 10 and 12 - for many years. Some schools have returned annually for more than fifteen years.
The Lakes are perfect for learning:
The Gippsland Lakes is an ideal environment in which to learn to sail - wide expanses of waterway, sheltered from the ocean, with plenty of secure moorings. The surrounding national parks and geomorphological features of the Lakes add depth to the learning experience.
Environmental studies: the Lakes' ecology, the national parks and geomorphological features of the Lakes combined with impacts and issues about land management activities.
History: aboriginal, early white settlement, the construction of an artificial entrance, farming and much more.
The Gippsland Lakes are completely safe for sailing:
Sand/mud lake floor - no rocks or reefs.
No tides.
Many secure moorings for safe overnight stays.
Public jetties, and mooring right onto the beach.
Always in sight of land.
Sheltered inland waterways with ocean beach just beyond the sand dunes.
