Discover the Artistic Oasis of Herring Island Sculpture Park

Getting There

• Car

  From Yarra Valley, head south on the Maroondah Highway (B300) towards Melbourne. Continue on the Maroondah Highway until you reach the EastLink Tollway (M3) interchange. Take the EastLink Tollway southbound towards Frankston. After approximately 20 km, take the exit for the Monash Freeway (M1) towards the city. Continue on the Monash Freeway and take the exit towards South Yarra, following signs for Punt Road. Merge onto Punt Road and continue until you reach Alexandra Avenue. Turn left onto Alexandra Avenue and look for parking near the Yarra River. Note that there may be parking fees. Once parked, you can access the Herring Island Sculpture Park via a short boat trip from the mainland.

• Public Transportation

  From Yarra Valley, take a train from Lilydale Station to Southern Cross Station in Melbourne. This journey will typically take about 1 hour. Once at Southern Cross Station, transfer to a train heading towards Flinders Street Station. From Flinders Street, you can take tram number 58 or 75 to the stop at the corner of Toorak Road and Alexandra Avenue. After disembarking, walk to the Yarra River and catch the ferry to Herring Island (this ferry operates on weekends and public holidays, so check the schedule in advance). There is a small fee for the ferry ride. Be sure to check the ferry times to ensure you can return to the mainland after your visit.
