Kalimna: Panoramas, Trails and a Giant Clownfish

Kalimna combines expansive panoramic views with trails and an unusual landmark. From Jemmy’s Point, the 270-degree panorama stretches across the Gippsland Lakes, the Entrance, the Bass Strait and 90 Mile Beach. There are also the Jemmys Point Loop Trails, Kalimna Jetty and a giant orange clownfish in front of the Lakes Caravilla Caravan Park. The views, trails and story of the Big Fish give your trip three distinct points of interest. Which one appeals to you most may also influence your hotel search.

Panorama from Jemmy’s Point

Jemmy’s Point in Kalimna is a lookout with a 270-degree panorama. The Gippsland Lakes and the Entrance are in view, as are the Bass Strait and 90 Mile Beach. The 270-degree angle describes the breadth of the view, while the names of the four sights make its scope specific. If you enjoy taking in different landscapes from a single lookout, you have a clear reason to include Jemmy’s Point in your plans. The panorama is a distinct highlight alongside the trails and local history.

Trails and Kalimna Jetty

If you want to explore Kalimna on foot, the Jemmys Point Loop Trails offer a six-kilometre trail network linking attractions in Kalimna. The six-kilometre distance describes the network as a whole, distinguishing it from the distance of an individual route. Trail conditions can change seasonally; check the latest conditions before setting out on a specific walk. The Jetty Link Trail connects Hotel Road to Kalimna Jetty via stairways. This describes a specific route in addition to the larger trail network. Kalimna Jetty has been extended by six metres. The stairways are a specific feature of the connection to consider when choosing a route.

The Big Fish and its story

A giant orange clownfish stands in front of the Lakes Caravilla Caravan Park in Kalimna and serves as a distinctive landmark. The Big Fish was built in 1975 by George Holding and his sons in the driveway of the family home in Lakes Entrance. That same year, it made its debut at the local Kinkuna Festival. Kalimna is therefore where the figure is located, while Lakes Entrance is where it was built; its festival debut adds another historical connection to the story. For travellers looking for an unusual landmark and its story as well as scenery, the clownfish offers a different way to experience Kalimna than the lookout and trails do.
