Discover Wynyard

Wynyard’s attractions include trails along the Inglis River, the foreshore and a range of cultural experiences. Other specific places to visit include a playground with walking paths and opportunities for birdwatching, as well as a market offering local produce and crafts. When planning your visit, it’s worth distinguishing between trails by their routes and checking market days separately.

Trails at Gutteridge Gardens and along the Inglis River

The Richard Gutteridge Memorial Gardens are at the end of Wynyard’s main street and offer cycling and walking trails. They are also the official starting point of the 12 km Inglis River Track, which follows the riverbank. This means you can choose between trails in the gardens and a named river route with a stated length. If you plan to visit the gardens, bear in mind that facilities can change and check the latest information before your visit if needed.

Foreshore and Rotary Park in East Wynyard

The East Wynyard Foreshore runs along the Old Bass Highway to the mouth of the Inglis River. There, a shared-use promenade built along the riverbank links the foreshore with Gutteridge Gardens. Key landmarks for finding your way are the route along the highway, the river mouth and the promenade connecting to the gardens. The gardens are also the starting point of the Inglis River Track, so the promenade and the track describe different routes by the river.

Rotary Park in East Wynyard has a modern playground designed for children of all ages and abilities. The park’s walking paths offer river views and plenty of opportunities for birdwatching; actual sightings may vary. The park brings together a playground, walking paths and nature viewing. As recreational facilities can change, check the latest information when making specific plans if you’d like to visit the playground.

Automotive history, art and the Foreshore Markets

The Ransley Veteran Car Collection at Wonders of Wynyard includes more than 14 vehicles and showcases Australian automotive history. It includes a 1903 Ford Model A, one of the world’s oldest surviving Fords of its age. In addition to the collection, an art gallery at Wonders of Wynyard showcases local creative works, including paintings, sculptures, photographs and textiles. The two attractions have different focuses: the collection is dedicated to historic vehicles and automotive history, while the gallery features a range of local art forms. You can plan your visit around your interest in either technology or art.

The Wynyard Foreshore Markets are held on the first and third Sunday of each month from 8 am to 2 pm at the East Wynyard Foreshore. They offer local produce and handmade goods, including jams, cakes and preserves. Their regular schedule makes the market easy to plan into your stay. Dates and opening hours may change; check the latest information before your trip if you’re planning to visit the market.
