Grand Strzelecki Track

Grand Strzelecki Track 93km of hiking tracks around Tarra Bulga NP and linked to Morwell NP. Paid and free camping. Incorpoation No. A0054706S

Home to the tallest flowering plants and hardwood trees on earth, the majestic Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus Regnans), is the Strzelecki Ranges in South Gippsland, Victoria which are like no other place. The Strzelecki Ranges provide an enormous wealth of biodiversity and scenic values which, until the Grand Strzelecki Track was built, were largely inaccessible to the public except for two beautiful Na

tional Parks; Morwell and Tarra-Bulga. These parks charm visitors with pristine rainforest and tall eucalypt forests second to none and a proliferation of plant and animal life such as the South Gippsland Koala, which is the only genetically intact remnant of the original population remaining in Victoria. The Grand Strzelecki Track links these parks and opens up many natural treasures not seen within the parks including endangered ecosystems, stunning views, waterfalls and much more. If also offers glimpses into the amazing and sometimes tragic settlement and sawmilling history of the Strzelecki Ranges, as well as recent conservation initiatives to preserve our natural and cultural heritage. Located just 2-1/2 hours drive east of Melbourne and accessible from both the Princes and South Gippsland Highways, the Grand Strzelecki Track has something for everyone whatever you level of fitness or experience. Approximately 110 km of track network provides a challenging but rewarding 2 day Park-to-Park experience or 3 moderate to easy loop walks of 1 to 2 days each, radiating from Tarra-Bulga National Park. Alternatively, take 5 to 7 days to walk the complete track and experience the full diversity of scenery these ranges have to offer. Maps can be purchased at www.grandstrzeleckitrack.org.au

This video is from Kevin Moss, alias YouTuber Goin’ Feral, in November 2025 where he heads off from the Tarra-Bulga National Park Visitor Centre in a clockwise direction over Mount Tassie and through Duff Sawmill Heritage Trail to return to the start.

His narrative throughout the video describes the interesting types of land he encounters, that there will be a fair bit of climbing, and sections that are very “leechy”. along the way. He also encounters a snake and some waterfalls.

Kevin is an avid hiker and was previously a blogger for his Australian and around the world adventures from 2014 to 2023 with almost 1,000 blogs. Today, he is concentrating more on YouTube content than his blog and has approximately 2,500 YouTube subscribers, 1,600 Facebook followers and 540 Instagram followers. Thank you, Kevin for your contribution.

There have been a number of complaints about hikers parking their cars on Pattison Rest Area not leaving room for other campers. We have advised hikers to park their cars at the Tarra-Bulga Visitor Centre carpark or the option to park just inside Goombala Road opposite the rest area.

The decision was made to block off the entrance with bollards and chain, leaving access only for our maintenance vehicles.

On a good note, the toilet got a new roof so you can now look up to the sky day or night.

Thanks to our team for taking the time to do this work.
