Omeo is a fascinating sub-alpine town, with a long history, including gold rushes and associated lawlessness. There are some lovely historic buildings and good interpretation. There are also the beginnings of a major mountain bike trail network, which will be completed in stages over the next couple of years. Omeo is a good base for skiing at Mount Hotham (much easier access than through Harrietville). In summer, it provides an alternative route to Falls Creek and the Bogong High Plains. There are also some excellent walks in the vicinity, including to the Oriental Claims historic area.
