Tarra Bulga Park is known for its lush, green gullies, giant mountain ash trees, and tree ferns, is one of the most heart-stirring places you can find in Victoria.

Have lunch at the Tarra Bulga Park Picnic area, just off the Grand Ridge Road, or the Tarra Valley picnic area off Tarra Valley Road. Both spots are set amongst the giant mountain ash and shady fronds of tree ferns and offer tables, fireplaces, toilets, and picnic shelters.

This little pocket of rainforest (the cool temperate kind) is one of the last remaining in the state. In this secret land, it’s as if you’ve unknowingly taken the “Drink Me” potion: walking trails are dwarfed by giant ferns and towering mountain ash trees. Fronds of ancient myrtle beech stretch from either side of the path creating an emerald canopy pierced by thin shafts of sunlight.

The Tarra Bulga Park rainforest is a haven for plants and wildlife. Discover a wide variety of birds including the pilotbird, yellow-tailed black cockatoo, eastern whip bird, and currawongs. Visit in the evening when the forest comes to life as possums, owls and bats emerge to feed.

If you’re lucky, you may see a lyrebird scratching the forest floor looking for food or catch a glimpse of some of the other inhabitants like wombats, swamp wallabies, gliders, and platypuses.
