Traralgon is the largest city in the Latrobe Valley, home to most of Victoria’s power generation operations. It provides a central location for exploring the area, recreation, shopping and dining.

South of Traralgon the Strzelecki Ranges offer a number of scenic tourist drive routes, including the Grand Ridge Road and the Tarra Bulga National Park. The nearest beaches are about an hour’s drive away.

North of Traralgon are extensive alpine ranges which include such attractions as the ski resort of Mount Baw Baw, the Thompson Dam (which provides Melbourne with its largest supply of water), a number of state and national parks, and the historic community of Walhalla.
