GREAT ALPINE ROAD

OMEO & BENAMBRA

Sitting on top of the world feels good. So Omeo and Benambra are feel good destinations.
Located 120 km north of Bairnsdale, Omeo seems a lifetime away from the coast & lakes, with Benambra further north east of Omeo.

Travel the Great Alpine Road to get here. Follow the Tambo River valley, wild and beautiful as it twists and turns. The high country plains and bush landscape changes with each glimpse of the Victorian Alps. Arrive in Omeo and refresh. Breathe the wonderful air, sample a hearty pie or counter lunch. Explore the historic goldmining landmarks like the Oriental Claims, Log Gaol and old Court House.

Benambra once the first cattle station in Victoria is now a picturesque township with great access to the Three Brothers, three mountain peaks named after the Prendergast brothers, early settlers of the area. Lake Omeo nearby is a great picnic spot. The fly fishing is not bad here either; in fact the region is renowned for it.
