Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre

Nestled beside the Yea River, the Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre is a hidden gem in Victoria's High Country, combining a fully accredited Visitor Information Centre with inspiring, sustainable design and interactive environmental displays. Designed to highlight the importance of water resources and wetland ecology, it also features sculptures and gardens representative of Taungurung Country with many walks in the Yea riverine floodplain on offer.

Just a short walk from Yea's main street, the Centre offers visitor information, public barbecues, picnic tables, toilets, and a nearby dump point. Families enjoy stroller and bike-friendly boardwalks, river trails, and opportunities to spot ducks, frogs, dragonflies, and even the elusive platypus. Cyclists travelling the Great Victorian Rail Trail can access bike racks, pumps, locks, and water refill facilities. Eco-tourists, school groups and organised tours will enjoy exploring the beautiful centre, celebrating sustainable land care and thriving native flora and fauna.

Midweek tour bookings are warmly welcomed. The friendly Visitor Services staff provide expert advice on local attractions, accommodation, dining, travel routes, and regional experiences, helping visitors make the most of their stay. The Centre also features a gift shop offering books, maps, jewellery, local produce, and unique souvenirs.

Whether you're travelling with children, enjoying an outdoor adventure, or seeking a relaxing break, the Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre provides an enriching experience. Dogs on leads are welcome throughout the precinct.
