Traralgon is the Latrobe Valley’s largest city in the Australian state of Victoria. South of the city, tourists passing along the Grand Ride Road and the route leading to the Tarra Bulga National Park have a scenic view of the Strzelecki Ranges. North are the Thompson Dam, state and national parks, the historic Walhalla community and Mount Baw Baw’s ski resort.
A unique experience for tourists would be to skydive, or take a scenic flight or a glider ride over the Gippsland region from the Latrobe Regional Airport. Tamer but no less interesting would be to join a guided tour to the Loy Yang Open Cut Mine. A visit to the Tarra-Bulga National Park’s Corrigan Suspension Bridge affords a breathtaking view of the rain forest floor below. There are picnic areas for visitors who can indulge in wildlife watching in the Park’s open forest of plants and wildlife. The Tyers Park in the north has also a wealth of plants and wildlife which would delight nature lovers. The place is ideal for picnicking, swimming and bushwalking, with good fishing grounds.
In the city proper, Victory Park with its beautiful gardens invites a leisurely stroll, with a big adventure playground for the kids to enjoy. Art lovers can witness theatrical events, both professional and amateur, at the Performing Arts Center in Latrobe. Every 4th Sunday of each month, visitors can visit and take a ride on the miniature trains at the Newman Park.
A visit to Traralgon will not be complete without a taste of the local wines at Toms Cap at Carrajung, Traralgon Vineyard and Narkoojee at Glengarry.
There are no cheap flights to Traralgon because there are no passenger airlines servicing the Regional Airport in Latrobe, which is the nearest airport. Instead of looking for cheap flights to Traralgon, visitors can fly to Melbourne Airport and travel the 190 kilometer or so distance by train or car to Traralgon.
Upon arriving at the city, there’s a wide range of accommodation and hotels in Traralgon. Aside from the luxury hotels, the range of selection includes motels, hostels, boutiques, cottages, lodges guesthouses, serviced apartments, caravan parks, bed and breakfasts and camping.
