NINETY MILE
BEACH Yarram is situated near the western end of Ninety Mile Beach which stretches all the way to Lakes Entrance and beyond. The water is clean and incredibly blue contrasting with the honey coloured sand and stark white dunes. The main points of access to the Ninety Mile Beach are at McLoughlins Beach, Manns Beach and Woodside, all attractive little places to visit in their own right. Along with Robertson's Beach they all retain that unique relaxed atmosphere of the small, out-of-the-way community. They have little or no shops, most have dirt roads and all are completely unsophisticated. But they are full of charm and peace, plus of course, they are all great places to go fishing TARRA BULGA NATIONAL PARK Tarra Bulga National Park is one of the jewels in the Yarram Territory Crown. Nestled high in the Strzlecki Ranges, this 1,580 hectare temperate rainforest is full of native wildlife, including lyrebirds, wombats and koalas the park is a mass of large ferns, mountain ash and other rainforest flora, waterfalls, walking tracks and a wooden suspension bridge. There are picnic facilities in both parts of the Park, with fireplaces, running water and toilets, At Balook is the Tarra Bulga Visitors Centre, with its Theatre, Shop and Information area. TARRAVILLE AND ALBERTON Just a few kilometres south of Yarram are the two small townships of Alberton and Tarraville. Tarraville is one of the oldest towns in Victoria; there is still the old church, built in the 1850's entirely of wood and with no nails being used in its construction. Alberton is another historic area. The town was settled in the 1880's and contains State School No,1 and a fine old Hotel, which still serves the local community. |
