Highlights of Tyers Park

  • Take the 400m stroll (10 minutes one way) to the craggy Petersons Lookout for show-stopping views over Tyers River Gorge toward the Latrobe Valley.
  • Visit the park during spring to see the ground blanketed with wildflowers.
  • Stock up on some gourmet goodies if you’re passing through Traralgon to enjoy at Wirilda Picnic Area.
  • Pack a tent so you can take your time exploring the park - bush camping is permitted.

Walking

If you’ve got the legs for it, the Wirilda Track (18km, 6 hours one way) winds along the river and through silvergum forest, laced with wattle and tea tree. This is recommended for experienced walkers due to unsealed surfaces and steep sections.
