Visitor Information Centre has re-opened

by Leave a comment

Easing of Covid-19 restrictions in Victoria has meant that our group activities have been allowed to re-commence

Tarra-Bulga National Park is one of only a handful of National Parks in the state that has an
operational Visitor Information Centre. In this day and age it is refreshing for visitors that are not
familiar with the Park to be able to have face to face interaction with an actual human being. This
enables them to get the best information in regards to getting the most out of their visit.
At present we have vacancies for new volunteers to come on board and help to keep the centre
open. Full training and support will be provided. You don’t even have to know that much about the
park. A list of answers for common visitor questions will be provided.
Our long term volunteers love the experience that working in the Visitors Information Centre Offers.
It helps of course to be surrounded by the awesomeness of Tarra-Bulga National Park. It can
certainly be a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a day. All while helping to provide a great
community service. Some of our volunteers find it so enjoyable, that over the years they have
accumulated over 200 days service. Do you enjoy getting out in the community, if so please consider
giving volunteering at Tarra-Bulga a go. For further details or to register your interest email
friendsoftarrabulga@gmail.com or phone our Volunteer Co-ordinator Jane on 5196 6182.

Don’t Go Past the Tarra Valley!

While spending a bit of time in the Tarra Valley Car Park on Saturday morning it was mind blowing to witness a significant number of touristy looking vehicles slow down, check out the place from their vehicles and then drive on without getting out of the car. One lady who had stopped for a look around, approached me and said “we have come up from Yarram and were wondering where to go for the best walks!”. She seemed surprised when I said that one of the best walks in the park is right here.

The Rainforest Walk at the Tarra Valley is certainly a must-do Tarra-Bulga National Park experience. The ancient gnarly Myrtle Beech, fresh mountain streams, lush green mosses and delicate filmy ferns are truly spectacular (not to mention Cyathea Falls). Maybe it needs better signage (VicRoads) or publicity but seriously people if you a driving through, stop, get out of the car, take a walk and check it out for yourself.
