Tarraville is a locality in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, located near the mouth of the Tarra River[1] and 236 kilometres (147 mi) southeast of Melbourne.

[3] In the 1850s, when people travelled from Port Albert to fields in Omeo when gold had been discovered there, Tarraville was used as a stopping point.

[3] Tarraville's population and activity decreased in the late 1870s, after a railway was built going from Melbourne to Sale.

In 1903, most of the edges of the town were sea and the only public buildings left were a hotel, a school, three churches, a library, and a mechanics' institute.

[2] According to a book by the United States Government Publishing Office in 1920, one could travel from the town to Port Albert using a coach and to Melbourne using a railway.
