Tooradin Village



Saturday night we picked up our two Grandchildren for a sleep over, so we decided to take a drive to Tooradin. Buy fish and chips for tea and sit and eat them by the water as it was such a warm night. After we had eaten we explore the town a little more thoroughly and took some photos. I was quite surprised how much Tooradin has to offer and how pretty the location is if you take the time to look around. Having walked along the inlet, I was pleased to find fantastic picnic and bbq facilities right on the waters edge, historic buildings and shaded play equipment for the kids.

Tooradin is a small township on Sawtell Inlet, it is a picturesque little town 64 km south-east of Melbourne on the South Gippsland Highway. It is situated on the reclaimed swampland of Sawtell Creek Inlet at the northern tip of the Westernport Bay. So it provides a safe anchorage for local fishing boats.

Tooradin has long been a rest stop for travelers driving between Melbourne and Phillip Island and is a very busy place every weekend, especially the second Sunday in the month when they have the Tooradin market.
