Omeo is a town in Victoria, Australia, located on the Great Alpine Road, east of Mount Hotham, in the East Gippsland Shire. At the 2001 census, Omeo had a population of 259.[1] The name is derived from the Aboriginal word for 'mountains'. It serves as the commercial hub for the Tambo and Omeo Valleys.
The area was first visited by stockmen who drove stock through the region as early as 1835. In 1845 gold was found around Omeo. Earthquakes in 1885 and 1892, and the Black Friday bushfires of 1939, caused damage to Omeo, yet several old buildings remain.
The town hosts the Omeo Plains Mountain Festival in December and January each year, a market and rodeo and polo match at Cobungra around Easter, and an agricultural show in November.
Attractions include the Oriental Claims, the Cuckoo Clock shop, White Water rafting on the Mitta Mitta. If you enjoy fishing then the Combungra, Tambo and Mitta Mita all provide good trout fishing.
