Lonsdale History
Originally built in 1974 as a Sorrento-Queenscliffe ferry she was decommissioned and moved to Lakes as a commercial fishing boat in 1980. She then moved up to Darwin as a dive boat – or that was the plan. She actually became a drug and gun runner until the law caught up with her. Ian and Tony found her rotting in Cairns and brought her back home to rebuild her into the wonderful charter boat she is today.

If you wondered who made the delicious scones, raved about on Trip Advisor and Facebook, well here she is. Mel is a fourth generation Gippslander and has been involved in commercial fishing and eco-tourism operations in Gippsland since she was a nipper.
