Heyfield is a small town in Gippsland. It's a gateway to the attractions of Victoria's High Country, as well as a great place to spend a day or two enjoying the town's rural hospitality.

By car
Heyfield is located on the Traralgon-Maffra Road (C105). If you're travelling from Melbourne, you can take the Princes Freeway (M1) to Traralgon before turning off at Traralgon down the Traralgon-Maffra Road. The journey by car, give or take a bit, is about 3 hours long.

By public transport
While the train hasn't run through Heyfield for decades, it is possible to get to Heyfield by combining train and coach services. 2 coaches each from Traralgon and Sale depart on weekdays for Heyfield, and both of these towns are connected to Melbourne by rail. For most Traralgon train services, Myki cards can be used, while paper tickets are required for services to Sale. These can be purchased at a V/Line ticket outlet. Paper tickets are also required for the coach service. Coaches depart on weekdays from Traralgon train station at 11:58AM and 5:54PM, and from Sale train station at 7:49AM and 4:26PM. In both directions, the coach services take about 40 minutes. Coaches stop both near the Heyfield Primary School, and at the corner of Gordon and Mary Street. The full timetable is available here.

By cycling
Heyfield is located on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail, which covers the length of the former Maffra railway line. It's located roughly in the middle of the trail, away from Traralgon and  away from Stratford. Both ends of the trail are connected to Melbourne via train, so it's possible to bring your bike along from there to either Traralgon or Stratford to get to Heyfield. The track is generally suitable for all difficulties, however, if starting from Traralgon, note that the path doesn't start until you reach the outskirts of Traralgon, so you have to cycle through the city of 25,000, and the track also briefly goes onto quiet country roads before reaching Heyfield.

Get around
Heyfield can be walked around on foot. There is no public transport in the town to speak of.
