Warragul to Morwell drive: Trafalgar and Narracan Falls

The first town of interest along the Princes Highway is Trafalgar. Here, you might want to divert off the highway to see the Trafalgar Holden Museum, Uralla Nature Reserve or Mount Speed Lookout. You can also divert a little further to Narracan Falls – a great swimming spot.

Before you reach Moe on the Warragul to Morwell drive, you’ll pass the Summit. This adventure park is more aimed at school groups than the general public, alas.

Warragul to Morwell road trip: Old Gippstown and Moe

Moe attractions include Old Gippstown – a reconstructed township and open air museum – and the Moe Botanical Gardens.

After Moe comes Morwell. 

Things to do in Morwell include exploring the Gippsland Immigration Park, which tells the story of immigration in the region. And, if you’re really into power stations, you can try the PowerWorks Energy Education Centre. It’s all about coal and electricity, but is very much a case of a power station trying to justify its existence by doing something community-minded.
