LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE | PAGE 31 TARRA TERRITORY There's no better way to explore the stunning Lakes Coast and Gippsland region than by bike, riding along the incredible rail trails. The newly completed Great Southern Rail Trail now stretches all the way from Welshpool to the charming town of Yarram. Starting from Welshpool, you can either take a detour to the peaceful seaside village of Port Albert or continue to the historic township of Alberton before reaching Yarram. As you enter Yarram, you'll be greeted by the warm hospitality of the locals. A haven for art lovers, Yarram bursts with vibrant colours, thanks to 25 murals scattered across the town, all created by the talented and world-renowned Mongolian-born street artist, Heesco Khosnaran. A leisurely cycle around the town allows you to take in each of these stunning works of art, with plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the ride at local cafés, restaurants, and even parklands. The Great Southern Rail Trail also leads you through the serene Yarram Wetlands, where you can spot local birdlife and relax by picnic tables or terracotta steps. The Wetlands feature basketball courts, exercise areas, and a skate park, offering something for the entire family. To make sure you don't miss out on anything, be sure to stop by the Yarram Courthouse and visit the friendly team at the Visitor Information Centre.
