Yarram: YYRM -> South-West

Few towns in Victoria trace their past as directly to dairy farming and grazing as Yarram. Set in Gippsland between the Strzelecki Ranges and the coastal plains facing Bass Strait, it remains a service centre for the surrounding rural district. Broad streets and older commercial buildings in the centre recall its development as an agricultural hub. Yarram is also known for the Heesco Town mural project, which has brought large-scale public art to walls around the town. Tarra-Bulga National Park in the Strzelecki Ranges provides a nearby contrast of cool-temperate rainforest.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement.
