About Moondarra & Gippsland
Moondarra sits in the heart of Gippsland's forested ranges, a gateway to some of Victoria's best trail networks. The area is built around converted railway corridors and forest tracks that wind through mountain ash and fern gullies, making it ideal for walkers and trail cyclists exploring the region's industrial heritage and natural landscape.
Walks & Trails
The nearby trail network is extensive. Start with the Moe–Walhalla narrow-gauge railway or the gentler Tyers Junction Rail Trail for rail-trail walking. For more challenging terrain, try Roots and All, Skirts, Axemen, Winch Line, or Scream. The Tyers Rail Trail and Walhalla Rail Trail offer longer cycling options. Expert hikers should tackle Old Government Road or Old Government Road track.
