Yarragon is a rural town at the foot of the Strzelecki Ranges, on the Princes Highway, just east of Warragul. Several distinct interests come together here: art in the old railway station building, a gallery with a changing collection, a weather-dependent market, coffee and a walking trail with a stated length. This mix offers different ways to shape your stay. You can plan your travel days around whether you’d like to include exhibitions and open workshops, the market or a walk.
Art in the old railway station building
The Station Gallery & Community Arts Hub is housed in Yarragon’s old railway station building. It holds monthly exhibitions and offers weekly open sessions in the workshop room where anyone can learn or try things out. If you’d like to try something yourself, this offers something different from simply visiting an exhibition. Check the latest participation details and exhibition calendar in advance if you want to plan your trip around a particular session or show. Pat the Dog, a statue at the Station Gallery & Community Arts Hub, also adds a specific public artwork to the town’s connection with art.
Gallery, market and coffee
In the heart of the tourist town of Yarragon, Town & Country Gallery is an exhibition and retail space. Its changing collection includes paintings, sculptures, blown glass, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and woodwork. The gallery also regularly schedules exhibitions and artist demonstrations. If a particular art form or demonstration is important to you, check the current program and opening details.
The Yarragon Community Craft & Produce Market showcases local produce, art and crafts. In the drier months, it takes place at Waterloo Park, weather permitting; the mix of stalls can also vary. So plan a market visit within this seasonal window and according to the weather, and check the event dates in advance. The Shot House has a different focus: this boutique coffee bar serves and sells a range of coffee blends and single-origin beans, including Australian coffee. While the market focuses on local produce and changing stalls, The Shot House is all about coffee and beans.
Walks and parks
The Yarragon Trail Walk is 5.09 km long and starts and ends in the heart of Yarragon Village. Its start and finish give the trail a clear connection to the town. Angela Malacarne Park officially reopened on 21 March 2026 and offers opportunities for passive recreation and community events. Yarragon Skatepark is at Howard Park Playground on Campbell Street.
What to check in advance
A digital visitor information point providing real-time information was documented in 2024; check on arrival whether it is operating. Planning considerations depend on your interests: exhibition calendars and participation or opening details are subject to change, while the market depends on the drier months and the weather. By contrast, the trail’s length and endpoints provide a specific geographical reference.
