Historic Homestead Nyerimiling East Gippsland

Nyerimiling Homestead was a timber logging site - timber was pushed over cliff edge to beach. Steep cliff down to the lakes from Nyerimiling - name m is Aboriginal for "many lakes". Wedge tailed eagle in the house - I saw a real one flying while overlooking the cliff! 1920s wood panelling Nyermilang

Lakes Entrance - Great fresh fish for dinner too!
