About Moondarra & Gippsland's Forest Trails
Moondarra State Park sits at the heart of Gippsland's forested landscape, offering direct access to a network of walking tracks that wind through fern gullies and mountain ash forest. The Seninis Visitor Area serves as a gateway to some of Victoria's most rewarding day walks and multi-day touring loops.
Walks & Trails
The area is a hiker's hub with over a dozen trails within easy reach. Close by are Tyers Junction Rail Trail, Roots and All, and Skirts, all within 5km. Slightly further afield lie the Tyers Rail Trail, Winch Line, Axemen, Scream, and Berries tracks. For experienced walkers, the Old Government Road offers a more technical challenge. The Walhalla Rail Trail and Moe–Walhalla narrow-gauge railway provide scenic alternatives through the historic mining region.
