Tyrendarra is a rural village in south west Victoria, Australia and is located on the Princes Highway; the township within a bend of Darlot Creek, before it enters the Fitzroy River which also flows through the locality. At the 2006 census, Tyrendarra and the surrounding area had a population of 243.[1]
The area was settled in the 1870s and a Post Office opened in around February 1879[2] (closed 30 June 2000).
Tyrendarra is well known for the Tyrendarra Pastoral and Agricultural show and the Tyrendarra Rodeo which are held each year at the Tyrendarra sports reserve. It has a football team playing in the South West District Football League. An unusual feature of the village is that it has long had 2 churches and no hotel.
The Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape - Tyrendarra Area on the Australian National Heritage List lies on the Tyrendarra lava flow between the Fitzroy River and Darlot Creek close to the township.
