๐ŸŒฟ Tucked away in South Gippsland, Koonwarra is a true hidden gem, known for its local produce and strong artisan culture.

While it may be a tiny town, it more than makes up for it with character and community spirit.

What youโ€™ll find in Koonwarra:
๐Ÿž A monthly Farmers Market (happening this Saturday 2 May).
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ A popular parkrun on the Rail Trail every Saturday.
๐ŸŒณ Relaxed green spaces like Memorial Park and the Koonwarra Recreation Reserve.
๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ Scenic trail walks and a welcoming, laidโ€‘back vibe.

๐Ÿฆด The town is also close to an important 115โ€‘millionโ€‘yearโ€‘old fossil site, with a special biodiversity walk along the trail between Koonwarra and Meeniyan โ€” a mustโ€‘see for nature lovers.

๐ŸŒน ANZAC Day is a time for reflection - to honour the servicemen and women who have served and sacrificed for our country, and to acknowledge those who continue to serve today.

โค๏ธ As people walk, ride or gather along the trail and in nearby towns, we invite everyone to take a quiet moment to reflect on the values of courage, mateship and service that ANZAC Day represents.

๐ŸŽบ Lest we forget.
