Things to do while based at Robertson's Beach
Yarram is at the heart of the most beautiful country in Gippsland. From the splendour of Ninety Mile Beach to the cool atmosphere of Tarra Valley National Park to historic Port Albert.
The town of Yarram itself offers the visitor a wide range of options: There is an eighteen hole golf course frequented by many kangaroos, bowling greens, tennis courts, a swimming pool, extensive shopping facilities, hotels and the recently restored Regent Theatre. The old Court House is an architectural gem and now serves as an information centre.
There is
a large variety of eating venues and nearbyPort Albert is famous for it's seafood. We recommended the old General store in Port Albert for beautifully presented, top quality local produce. The service is friendly and efficient and at reasonable prices, your hosts are Steve and Vida.
Fishing is a major attraction of the area with launching ramps, hire and charter boats all on offer at Port Albert and tackle and bait available throughout the district.
You can also visit painters' galleries, a museum and numerous historical sites around the district.


PORT ALBERT
This little fishing village houses the oldest continually licensed Hotel in Victoria, a superb Maritime Museum and the best boat launching facilities for miles around.
The museum is open every day from September to May and at weekends for the rest of the year. ft has a collection of maritime artifacts, sea shells and ships logbooks, plus many examples of modern seafaring equipment.

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.
