Cruise the Bottom Lake aboard M.V. Lochard

Had to take a cruise on this interesting lake.  George and Pam gave us a great informative tour of the history and life on and around the foreshores of this lake.  This boat was circa 1910 and refurbished throughout in 2003. Oh, the stories abound of the folk around Mallacoota.

Showed us this beautiful 1st grade abalone shell.  Wow!

George threw chicken pieces into the water and this Eagle flies down and gets his feed for the night

Kites also like George to feed them so he has to take plenty out

The archway in front of this house tucked up one of the inlets of the lake is actually whale ribs!!
The family of this 200 acre farm only come to stay Christmas and Easter.  Have a single farm manager running the farm

Other stories - there is a private girls college in Melbourne has a farm up in the reaches of this lake where the girls are bought out to live for 8 weeks.  No phones, no family, have to tend wholly for themselves for the 8 weeks.  Make or breaking of them!!!!

Also a gold mine up amongst the hills only accessible by the lake.  

If any of you are coming down this way.  This boat cruise is a MUST to do in Mallacoota.
