Omeo,  an historic Gippsland gold mining town on the Great Alpine Road, nestled high in the Australian Alps.

Once one of the wildest goldfields in Australia.

A town rich in Australian history.

In 1834, a Galicia-born Austrian naturalist named Johan Lhotsky discovered gold in the Livingstone Creek.
The site where he washed an ounce of gold from the sand would become the town of Omeo, a ramshackle town of calico tents and bark-roofed huts with a post office, a store and a pub, would grow to a vibrant town of 9400 people at the height of the mining boom.
