Not too sure if this is the correct area to post this, my apologies if not.
I have a week or so off work after Easter and was thinking of coming over from Adelaide and visiting the Lakes Entrance area. Have not been to this area since the mid 80s so have some vague memories of the place. Was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations of things to see and do while in the area. I am pretty much open to doing anything (no not that you sexual deviants) but have a leaning towards more outdoor pursuits (hiking, fishing, nice twisty roads to go for a ride on) rather than museums etc.
A quick look at the map and it seems that a detour via Omeo and Hotham on the way home would not be out of the question either. Do seem to remember doing the Great Alpine road back then on a mates 900ss Ducati. Will be on an Ultra Limited this time and also a bit older and wiser so do not expect to be travelling as fast.
The wife has to work so will be going on my own. I am planning on travelling light and stopping in pubs and motels as I find them. Any recommendations on good biker friendly accommodation around here?
Thanks for any information.

Lakes Entrance RSL Motel isn't too bad, you must ask for a downstairs room you can park your bike in front of.
Thanks Mickle, will look it up.
Cheers
Only ever gone through lakes on my way up to Sydney, that ride from lakes to Eden and onwards is fckn spectacular, feels like it’s 500ks of twisty roads.
Thanks Mr Mow. Had a look at the map and it certainly looks likes a good ride. Unfortunately just a bit too far out of my way for the time I have.
Thanks Rodders, very good idea. Didn't even give this a thought. Was more concerned with getting there quick. Will be changing my plans.
Cheers,
There is an amazing underground series of caverns near lake Entrance with massive crystal formations and guided tours that would be well worth a stop over.
Thanks Tussuck, will look them up. Sounds like my type of fun.
Thanks guys for the info.
HOG63 good tip about the Ferry. Will have a coffee before I get on.
Mr Mow, BBQ and Brewery are my two favourite words in the English language. That is after "OK then, but make it quick." Do you mean the Cockatoo mountains? Seems to me that looking at a map everywhere East of Melbourne is some sort of mountain.
buchan caves ?
Ferry ride is good.
Up in Red Hill is the red hill brewery, bovine and swine are set up with them. Theres also the red hill bbq. Here in Mornington we have the (surprisingly named) Mornington brewery which also does wood fired pizza.
Tourers won't start in gear unless the clutch is fully in...
