Lakes Entrance Freight Services

Where the Gippsland Lakes meet the Tasman at Ninety Mile Beach, Lakes Entrance spools hospitality, retail and tourism freight through one of Victoria's busiest coastal holiday towns. QFM brings pallet, carton and trade loads inbound from every major Australian capital via Melbourne and the Princes Highway, typically staged through Bairnsdale for local East Gippsland run-out.

Four hours east of Melbourne along the Princes Highway, Lakes Entrance doubles in population through summer and school holidays — hospitality supply, caravan-park replenishment, takeaway trade and holiday-let furnishings peak sharply around those windows. Regional on-forwarding extends to Metung, Paynesville, Kalimna, Nungurner, Swan Reach, Bruthen and across to Orbost through the East Gippsland corridor.
