Raymond Island is a small island in the Gippsland
Lakes in eastern Victoria, Australia,
about 300 km (190 mi) from Melbourne. Raymond
Island is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi)
long by 2 km (1.2 mi) wide, and is just 200 m (660
ft) off the coast, across from the town of
Paynesville. The Raymond Island Ferry provides
the only link between the island and the
mainland, but also acts as an effective barrier to
faster development of the island community.
Raymond Island is a suburb of South Eastern
Victoria, Victoria and is about 243 kms east of VIC's
capital city of Melbourne. In the 2011 Australian
census the population of Raymond Island was 540
