DINNER PLAIN

HISTORY

The tradition of hospitality at Dinner Plain goes back well over a century, when mountain cattlemen fi rst discovered this beautiful stretch of countryside as an ideal place to relax, rustle up a meal and graze their cattle.

The site of Dinner Plain village was originally part of 640 acres selected by Rundells of Flourbag Plain and was then known as Rundells Paddock. When the coaches were running between Omeo and Bright, they would stop here for midday dinner, hence the area became known as Dinner Plain.

Dinner Plain village was developed in 1986 by a company called Dinner Plain Pty Ltd. Peter McIntyre, the company architect, was inspired by the characteristics of the old cattlemen’s huts. Dinner Plain is a distinctive village in Australia’s only freehold land above the snowline.The homes, apartments and lodges

refl ect the heritage of the early pioneer buildings in the Victorian Alpine High Country. Built of stone, timber and corrugated iron and often boasting magnifi cent stone fi replaces, each blends in beautifully with the surrounding snow gums and the high plains landscape.

OUR VILLAGE

What’s so different – and so special – about Dinner Plain?

If you love a relaxed village atmosphere, this is your kind of place. Dinner Plain is a peaceful and friendly village, surrounded by the Alpine National Park above the snowline and designed to compliment the beautiful snowgums and history of the area.

Dinner Plain is open all year round and offers a choice of accommodation the mountain cattlemen could only have dreamed of. There’s a well-stocked supermarket and grocery service

for when you want to eat in – and when you don’t, there’s a host of dining experiences available (please refer to the Business Directory).

Relaxing by the fi reside, exploring the bush tracks and trails, mountain biking or spoiling yourself at the Onsen Retreat and Spa - there’s something for everyone.

Walk it, Ride it, Bike it, Ski it, Enjoy it!

Indulge in the unique experience that is Dinner Plain.

SEASONS

Looking to escape the summer heat? Want to get high on adventure in Victoria’s Alpine High Country? Wander through vast swathes of colourful alpine wildfl owers? Tour the Great Alpine Road and explore Victoria’s greatest national park? Or maybe just slip away for a romantic weekend? You can do it all right here, because every season there’s another reason to visit Dinner Plain.

The warmer months...

Have you been hibernating over

6 7

winter? Revitalise in the clear mountain air as the countryside sheds its winter snow and emerges fresh and green.

Warm sunny days, invitingly cool rivers and streams and alpine wildfl owers in full bloom. Escape the heat of summer and simply relax, or get out and experience the adventure playground on your doorstep.

The cooler months...

Cooler days are perfect to pursue lots of adventure activities – mountain biking, horseriding, 4WD touring and fi shing. Enjoy the last of summer’s wildfl owers and the crisp evenings that foretell the winter snows.

During winter, the mountains are at their most magnifi cent, shrouded in glittering white. Skiers and snowboarders swoop down slopes, families stroll along snow-lined village streets and couples discover

the romance of the snow. In the evening, slip into a hot spa or sauna, relax in front of a cosy log fi re before enjoying dinner at one of the many dining options with a fi ne bottle of local wine.

walks & trails

WALKING ON TOP OF THE WORLD

There are a wide variety of walks in Dinner Plain, the Alpine National Park and adjacent alpine resorts. The bush walking and mountain bike season lasts from early November until late April. The area is usually snow covered or too wet during winter and early spring.

During the snow season, trails are groomed from June until September and are suitable for cross country skiing and snow shoeing.

In good weather a fi t person can cover 3 kms an hour. Remember to make allowances for long steep climbs, photography and rests. Carry plenty of drinking water.

Self-guided walks

There are more than 15 walks around Dinner Plain village. Start at the DP Hut and follow the signs and maps. Walks include the 2km

return trip to Carmichael Falls and 3km return trip to Room With A View. Looking for something a little bit longer? Try the 9km return walk to Precipice Plain and be rewarded with commanding views of the Dargo River and the Dargo High Plains.

Winter’s cross country ski trail between Dinner Plain and Mt Hotham becomes summer’s 10km walking track – it’s a day trip, so pack a picnic and plan to stop at Paw Paw Plain for lunch with a view.

Great walks from Mt Hotham include the loop that takes in Machinery Spur, Red Robin Mine, Dibbins Hut and Derrick Hut (1 day), and the walk along Mt Loch Ridge (3 – 4 hours) which reveals near-360 degree views of Mt Buffalo, Mt Feathertop, the Bogong High Plains and the Kiewa Valley.

The challenging 22km walk from Diamantina Hut at Mt Hotham to Mt Feathertop along the Razorback

rewards you with extraordinary 360 degree views of the Alpine High Country. You need to make an early start to complete the walk in a day, and the track is rocky, rough and steep in parts.

Guided walks

If you don’t feel you have suffi cient experience or you’d rather leave the planning to someone else, why not book a guided walk? These can take you to some of the lesser known tracks around Dinner Plain and Mt Hotham. They range from pleasant sunrise or sunset strolls to half day, full day and multiple day walks, and are escorted by guides with excellent local knowledge.

HIGH COUNTRY HUTS*

During the summer of 2003 a number of fi res swept through the Australian alps. Some historic huts were burnt and may remain as ruins, so if planning to visit a hut please fi rst check its status with Parks Victoria or the Visitor Information Centre in the village.

Dinner Plain CRB Hut

CRB Hut is located on the northern side of the Great Alpine Road, outside the main entrance to the village. It was built in 1923 -1925 and is known to have survived the Black Friday fi res in 1939. The hut is well preserved and is protected by a heritage order.

JB Hut

JB Hut is located on JB Plain, just 2km west of Dinner Plain, approximately 250m from the Great Alpine Road. The hut was relocated to JB Plain in the 1970’s and is believed to have been built in the late 1940’s. It was possibly a forestry hut in the Swifts Creek area.

Boggy Creek Hut

Boggy Creek Hut is another of the CRB Huts, and is one of the two original huts built in 1923 - 1925, the other one being at Dinner Plain. It is located 6km along the Great Alpine Road heading towards Omeo.

* Hut information supplied courtesy of ‘Victoria’s Alpine Herit-age Huts of the High Plains’, Fiona Magnussen, Alpine Publishing Dinner Plain.

VISITING THE HUTS

Enjoy visiting the huts but please do not use them for overnight accommodation. Huts are for temporary refuge only.

Leave the hut clean and secure. If you must use the fi replace, check the fi re is out and close the doors and windows securely. Don’t leave emergency food stores in the hut as they clutter up the hut and encourage rats.

Wire Plain Hut

There is a locked cattleman’s hut on the northern side of the Great Alpine Road at Wire Plain.

Mr Billy Howard, mountain cattleman from the Ovens district built this hut in 1962. Part of the hut was prefabricated and brought in by truck and the back of the hut was built on site to house saddles and a water tank.

For further information please refer to: www.hutsvictoria.org.au

GENERAL INFORMATION

LOOKING AFTER THE ALPINE ENVIRONMENT

LANDCARE

The Alpine environment is one of the most pristine environments in Australia. It contains a number of unique fl ora and fauna species. Threats include the invasion of weed species, which can travel great distances on the tyres of vehicles and the underneath of footwear, and feral animals attacking local fauna.

THE ALPINE BOG

Alpine Bogs are rare in Australia; they can be defi ned as a permanently wet area of ground that supports a range of fl ora and fauna. Alpine Bogs are an iconic part of the Australian landscape and their health is an indicator of the success of environmental management practices. The survival

of the Alpine Bog is threatened by development, feral animals, weed invasion and global warming.

GRASSLANDS

Our grasslands are unique and unfortunately are under threat all over Australia. Your local Council and DSE can help you identifi y native grasses.

SNOW GUMS

Snow gum forests take many years to establish and the growth rate of the snow gum is very slow. Many fauna species live in snowgum forests. Snowgum survival is threatened by development and bush fi res.

DO:

• Find out how to identify local species• Only grow plants that naturally grow in the area• Remove weeds when they appear• Plant only local grasses around your home• Please stay out of the alpine bog

DON’T:

• Remove local plants• Bring pets into alpine areas• Remove a species unless you know it is a weed• Dump chemicals or pollute the groundwater• Remove or kill native animals• Light fi res
