🏔️ Welcome to Omeo!

After winding our way through the Victorian High Country, we’ve rolled into the historic mountain town of Omeo. 🚙

Omeo has a fascinating past, shaped by gold mining, cattle grazing and life in the rugged High Country. Gold discoveries in the district during the 1850s brought miners and rapid growth, and reminders of that era can still be found around town today.

Sitting high in the mountains of East Gippsland, Omeo is surrounded by some spectacular High Country scenery and makes a great base for exploring the region.

We’re only passing through this time as we continue towards Tom Groggin, but we’ll definitely have a look around before hitting the road again.

🐕 DOG’S GRAVE – A HIGH COUNTRY STORY

Deep in Victoria’s High Country, between Dargo and Omeo, is a campsite with a name that comes from a story dating back more than 160 years.

📍 Dog’s Grave

According to the story commemorated here, around 1863 stockman Peter Meehan was travelling through the High Country with his faithful cattle dog, Boney.

While camped in the area, Boney tragically ate a strychnine bait laid for dingoes and died.

Devastated at losing his loyal mate, Meehan buried Boney here, covering his grave with stones and surrounding it with a small picket fence.

More than 160 years later, the place is still known as Dog’s Grave. 🐾

A memorial now stands here honouring Boney and recognising the important role cattle dogs played alongside the stockmen and drovers who worked this incredibly remote country.

Like many stories handed down through generations, there are different versions of exactly what happened — including another involving drover Johnny Crisp and his dog Angus — but the memorial here records the story of Peter Meehan and Boney.

Today, Dog’s Grave is also home to a High Country hut and bush camping area, surrounded by beautiful mountain country.

Another fascinating little piece of history we’ve discovered while exploring the Victorian High Country. ❤️🐕⛰️
