About Neerim South & the Latrobe Trail Network
Neerim South sits in the heart of Gippsland's forested landscape, centred around the Latrobe Trail—a network of mountain bike and hiking trails that weave through dense bushland along river valleys. The area is built for riders and walkers seeking sustained, technical terrain away from crowds, with excellent camping options nearby for multi-day explorations.

Close to the visitor area, Side Show, Patroller, and Patrol No.1 provide accessible entry points within 6km. For longer adventures, Rokeby to Neerim Trail connects the wider region over 12km. Other options include Portal, Airport Departure, Victory, Crossover Chutes, Warm Up, and Powerlines.
