Wirilda Environment Park — Attraction in Yallourn North

Highly recommend, this is the best bushwalk local to Traralgon.

Beautiful park, weeds and trail are well maintained. There are obstacles along the trail and it is quite challenging in sections. Hiking with the sights and sounds of the river is awe inspiring.
