This small mountain town on the Great Alpine Road in Victoria's East Gippsland, Omeo sits close to the snowline and serves as one of the few settlements on the eastern end of the Victorian Alps. Its name derives from an Aboriginal word for mountains or hills. The town functions mainly as a service centre for surrounding communities and a stopping point along the alpine road, with a number of historic buildings and accommodation options for travellers passing through.
