Situated on the banks of the Tarwin River, the township of Tarwin Lower is a much loved fishing destination.

Wooden fishing platforms abound along the river and fishing competitions are held regularly.

Tarwin Lower’s main street, River Drive, is home to several shops, and the town’s long picnic table is a well regarded picnic destination.

The coastal town of Venus Bay is located approximately 3 kilometres to the west of Tarwin Lower, and the two towns can be easily accessed by road, or a picturesque walking/cycling pathway.

Things to see and do

• Stroll along the Tarwin Lower boardwalk, which follows the Tarwin River, a good spot for fishing

• Picnic on the 35 metre ‘long table’ a table that has been shaped and curved to represent the flow of the river. Great for family reunions and clubs!
