This pioneering mountain town is renowned for its gold mining history, high country cattle grazing and historic buildings. 

 

Omeo has a few older buildings left, giving it a sense of history and a dash of character. The A M Pearson Historical Park in the middle of town – race HQ- features a museum, courthouse, rock crusher, and the log jailhouse of what was the most lawless of Australia’s goldfields.

 

Initially an agricultural town it wasn’t until gold was discovered in nearby Livingstone Creek during the 1850s that the township of Omeo began to boom.

 

In their heydays, the Omeo goldfields became the ‘toughest in the country. It is hard to believe today but the town was also wiped out by the Black Friday Bushfires of 1939.
