OMEO, NOT OREO! ADVENTURES IN VICTORIA WORDS STUART WOODBURY features a TEAR-OUT MAP #10

This month we head to Eastern Victoria to explore some wonderful countryside around Omeo. Some of these dirt roads can be challenging (depending on the time of year), so make sure your skills are up to it and that you check the road conditions before setting off.

TEAR-OUT MAP #10

OMEO

Originally a pastoral area, the discovery of gold in 1851 saw the town boom, however things ultimately declined as the gold ran out, and cattle and sheep grazing took over as the town’s major industry. Remnants of the town’s gold mining history can be found at the Oriental Claims Historic Area, located a few kilometres west of Omeo. All major services are available in Omeo, so make this your “base camp”.
