Don’t forget your bikes when coming to stay. With two rail trails to explore (Tarra Trail to Port Albert and The Great Southern Rail Trail to Welshpool and beyond). Plus a myriad of other tracks and trails through Tarra Valley and the Strzelekis.

Maybe even an amble through town to take in the Heesco Town Murals and other awesome street art. Yarram also boasts a handy skate park and pump track.

Road, Gravel, Mountain, BMX, Cruiser or old fashioned bone rattler, tracks and trails for all bikes.

For those with Strava we have our own profile with a few ideas of where to ride and what you can see and do.

Happy Riding.
