TARRAVILLE

The old Corner Inlet town of Tarra Vale (later Tarraville) was most likely the seventh town laid out in what became Victoria. By (1843), Tarra Vale was considered Gippsland’s foremost town and by 1844 already featured 50 buildings and one brick inn. Later largely abandoned, the area is now mostly open fields with very few structures surviving above-ground from the first two decades of settlement.

Some photos of Tarraville accompany this research.
