Metung

Overview

Metung is a small village located near the tranquil waters of the Gippsland Lakes, sandy beaches and bushland.
 
Metung is situated between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance on a thin peninsula of land that extends into Lake King. It's a jaunty sort of town, a community of people eager to fish and boat on the lakes ... in style. Metung is surrounded on three sides by water well serviced by a number of marinas and jetties and several cruise operators. .
 
Masses of bobbing boats and swaying masts, as far as the eye can see.
