Western Tyers

Western Tyers is an informal camping area situated along the West Branch of the Tyers River in Victoria, Australia.

The Western Tyers Road runs parallel to the river for many kilometres, typically within ten metres of the bank, and a number of pleasant unofficial campsites are scattered along this corridor.

A more formal campground has also been established by Parks Victoria opposite the Western Tyers area, off Buckle Spur Road.

The river itself is a draw for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for freshwater crayfish and, for experienced paddlers, whitewater canoeing.

A notable Grade 4 chute and drop lies just below Growlers, where an old rail line once diverged from the road. Note that the Western Tyers Road downstream from Palmers Track can be in poor condition, so travellers should check road status before heading in.
