Our local paradise…
Lake Tyers - Bung Yarda
Discover the spectacular beauty of Lake Tyers-Bung Yarnda, where dynamic landscapes meet a truly special environment.
Our unique location is part of the internationally recognised Gippsland Lakes RAMSAR site, a testament to its ecological significance. Our local bushlands and shores are home to fascinating threatened species like the westernmost plong-footed potoroo. Keep an eye out for visiting migratory shorebirds, including the delightful little terns and fairy terns, who sometimes nest along our estuary's edge.
Lake Tyers Coast Action are a group of volunteers who live, play, and work towards protecting the estuary, coastline, and bushland that makes up Lake Tyers and surrounding area.
“When the rain season is here, the water will flow down the catchment of Boggy Creek and Toorloo Arm and I can begin to fill up, then I will spread out onto the land…I’m going to collect some food as gifts to give to the saltwater fish.”
— Wayne Thorpe, A Story of Bung Yarnda
