Heyfield is located on the Thompson River, 206 kilometres east of Melbourne, within the Wellington Shire Council district. It is seen as a gateway to the Alpine National Park and Victorian High Country. The Alpine National Park stretches from central Gippsland, all the way to the New South Wales Border, where it adjoins Kosciuszko National Park. Heyfield was established in the early 1840s, where an early settler described the district as resembling ‘a field of waving corn’ and it was from this the name Hayfield was coined. The town further developed as a stopping point for prospectors en route to the Gippsland goldfields. Today, Heyfield relies upon dairy, timber and tourism industries for its prosperity. It is the principal source of hardwood in Victoria and is home to one of the largest timber mills in the southern hemisphere.Those visiting Heyfield can field short-term parking at the old Gordon St Reserve, on the corner of Macfarlane & Clark Streets.
