Murrindindi Regional Tourism MURRINDINDI - VICTORIA - AUSTRALIA

Snags are sizzling on the barbie, the kids are riding bikes or splashing in the pool, and you're relaxing with new friends as the sun sets over a shimmering lake.

Pack the family tent or hook up the caravan and head off through the glorious forests of the Great Dividing Range for a carefree holiday filled with favourite pastimes and new adventures. Waiting at the end of a leisurely two-hour drive is a sun-filled natural haven - the vast waters of the inland lake with its 500-kilometre shoreline, and lush river valleys radiating out between the surrounding mountain ranges.

You're assured of a warm welcome at one of the many friendly caravan parks and tranquil bush camping grounds in the region. There are options to suit every family, from powered and unpowered sites to on-site vans and self-contained cabins, as well as excellent boating facilities and plenty of activities for the kids.

Many parks can also arrange the hire of houseboats, aluminium fishing boats and canoes. There are also wonderful opportunities for camping and caravanning away from the lake, in the native bush land and forests of the river valleys. If you're planning a caravan or camping vacation this summer, Lake Eildon's many holiday parks are waiting to welcome you to a world of fun and excitement for the whole family, and a relaxing time with new friends.
