Yarragon: Art, Markets and Rural Character

Yarragon is a rural town at the foot of the Strzelecki Ranges. It lies on the Princes Highway, just east of Warragul. Galleries, a market featuring local produce, coffee and opportunities to get active give visitors different reasons to visit. Depending on your interests, you can focus on art and crafts, the seasonal market or time outdoors. This is a useful consideration when choosing a hotel: the market depends on the season and weather, while current exhibitions and programs matter when visiting the galleries. First decide which side of Yarragon you would like to experience, then compare hotel locations according to your own travel plans.

Art in the Old Railway Station and in the Galleries

The Station Gallery & Community Arts Hub is located in Yarragon's old railway station. Monthly exhibitions are held there; check the current exhibition calendar before your visit. The workshop room hosts weekly sessions where everyone is welcome to learn or try something out. Check the latest participation information in advance. Pat the Dog is a statue at the Station Gallery & Community Arts Hub.

The Town & Country Gallery is an exhibition and retail space in the heart of the tourist town of Yarragon. Its changing collection includes paintings, sculptures, hand-blown glass, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and woodwork. This gives you the chance to encounter several forms of visual art and craftsmanship. The gallery regularly schedules exhibitions and artist demonstrations. If you are travelling specifically for an event, check the latest announcements and opening hours.

Market and Coffee

The Yarragon Community Craft & Produce Market showcases local produce, art and crafts. During the drier months, weather permitting, it is held at Waterloo Park in Yarragon. The mix of stalls may change. If you are planning your visit around the market, check the current event date in advance and take the season and weather into account.

The Shot House is a boutique coffee bar serving and selling a range of coffee blends and single-origin beans, including Australian coffee. You can find both blends and single-origin beans on offer there.

Walk, Park and Skatepark

The Yarragon Trail Walk is 5.09 km long and starts and finishes in the heart of Yarragon Village.

Angela Malacarne Park offers opportunities for passive recreation and community events. It officially reopened on 21 March 2026.

Yarragon Skatepark is located at Howard Park Playground on Campbell Street in Yarragon. This gives you different ways to spend time outdoors: a walking route of a stated length, a skatepark and a park for passive recreation and community events.
