| Yarram is a delightful town of some 2,000 people in south eastern Australia, in a region called Gippsland in the state of Victoria. The town grew as a result of the rich dairy country that supplies milk products to Australia, and to the timber industry. Yarram is 221 kilometres east of Melbourne, accessible either on the Princes Highway (turn south at Traralgon), or the most picturesque South Gippsland Highway which runs through town on its way to Sale. It is a quiet town, a comfortable place to live, with excellent nearby attractions such as Port Albert, the Tarra Valley, the start of the Ninety-Mile Beach and a number of forests containing a variety of life. The town boasts the annual Tarra Festival at Easter with a street parade, Pancakes-on-the Park, art exhibitions, a race meeting, and a country fair. There is ample accommodation in the region, such a motels, hotels, and bed and breakfast establishments. A full range of shops is available in the main street and the Yarram Plaza. The town is also proud of its health service and hospital, one of the finest in rural Australia; its schools, churches and sporting facilities. |
