Lake Tyers: February 2018

Just back from Lake Tyers Beach staying at Yvonne and Trevor’s place for a few days with our friends. This visit coincided with the launch of FLOAT.

"FLOAT is a project to build a floating artists studio resident on Lake Tyers.  The pontoon style habitat will in itself be a creative effort by many of the people in the district and will allow imaginative and sensitive work to be generated "at one" with our beautiful lake.  FLOAT will sponsor a wide range of activities, and provide a focal point for local people to raise the awareness of the arts in the Lakes Entrance and Lake Tyers Beach area.”  

The official launch took place at Lake Tyers House. Some of us took the long way round by car while others walked, crossing the sand bar between the lake and the ocean to arrive at the house for breakfast at 8.30am. The house was built as a guest house in 1886.

During our stay there were several walks along the 90 mile beach. At night, from Yvonne and Trevor’s place, you can hear the surf pounding on the beach.  A lovely few days away from suburbia.
