Places to Visit

TYERS LOOKOUT

Tyers Lookout is on the Walhalla-Tyers Road (C481) and is a couple kilometres from the township on your left. It overlooks the Latrobe Valley and is a beautiful spot for a date or family picnic, and is absolutely stunning at sunrise and sunset.

PETERSON'S LOOKOUT

Peterson's Lookout is short walk to the lookout overlooking the Tyers River Gorge and is a few kilometres further up on Walhalla-Tyers Road (C481). It is 6km north of the Tyers township. Make sure to keep an eye out for the brown-coloured sign on your left (just before the W2 track). This walk can also be started at the W2 track where there’s signage and a trail. This is an extra 2km (or 4km return) walk, and is certified as a Heart Foundation Walk. Photos are available at this link.
