An industrial town by nature supplying much of Victoria’s power, the town has retained its rural attraction visitors are drawn to its parks and nearby bush-walking trails. Local river ways and lakes provide excellent fishing while the coast, its marine parks and Wilson’s Promontory National Park are within comfortable driving distance. Winter brings the skiing enthusiasts to the neighboring snowfields. Plus it has everything you would expect in a much larger town including shopping centers, pubs, nearby cinema, restaurants and much more.

Traralgon is a thriving commercial and administrative centre in Victoria’s energy heartland. The town has grown to service the surrounding energy, agricultural, pastoral, papermaking and timber industries. Traralgon has a lot of history and remnants of the gold years are reflected in the architecture of the town - see the Traralgon Post Office, Ryans Hotel and the Ostler House.

Traralgon is also the Latrobe Valley’s entertainment capital. It has a lot of dining and shopping venues, excellent pubs and clubs, sidewalk cafes, restaurants and shopping arcades. The Latrobe Performing arts centre has musicals or comedy act shows.
