Bung Yarnda (Lake Tyers) was an important meeting place for the Gunaikurnai people. It was a place that was rich in food and materials. A mission was established here where Aboriginal people lived when they were forcibly removed from their homelands by early settlers.
Lake Tyers is renowned as one of the best fisheries for large flathead in Victoria with flathead up to a meter in size is not uncommon. Not while I was there. But it also holds a healthy number of black bream and other estuary species, including prawns which were running up as far as Nowa Nowa.
