 Legend
has it that Dinner Plain was given its name by cattle drovers of last
century who stopped for their midday dinner at this glorious spot
in the mountains. Today you can still picnic on the grassy plains
in summer with cattle for company.
The village of Dinner Plain, nestled in the middle of the Great Alpine Road, 10 kilometres from the panoramic mountain views surrounding Mt Hotham, gives today's traveller the choice of outdoor recreation in all seasons. In winter follow the cross country trails, toboggan or ease into downhill skiing on gentle runs before you take to the legendary runs of Mt Hotham. Enjoy the cool mountain air on long summer days. Follow remote alpine streams and rivers as you wander through stunning snowgums and tall alpine ash. Walk alone or with Ilamas for company, or see the area on horseback as the early drovers did. Fish for trout or simply enjoy a short walk around the picturesque architecturally designed village.  Detail
