About Tynong
Tynong is a small rural township in Gippsland, Victoria, located approximately 66 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's CBD within the Shire of Cardinia local government area. With a population of 523 at the 2021 Census, the town sits at an elevation of 135 metres and covers around 21 square kilometres. Settled in the early 1880s, Tynong has a quiet semi-rural character with a mix of hobby farms, lifestyle properties, and long-established residential blocks along the Gippsland railway corridor.
Tynong has the advantage of its own railway station on the V/Line Gippsland Line, giving residents a direct commuter connection to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, approximately 71 kilometres away. The town itself is quiet with limited local amenities, but the nearby townships of Garfield and Nar Nar Goon provide additional services. The semi-rural setting, affordable land, and reasonable rail access make Tynong an option for those seeking a rural lifestyle within commuting range of Melbourne.
