DINNER PLAIN
HISTORY
The tradition of hospitality at
Dinner Plain goes back well over a
century, when mountain cattlemen
first discovered this beautiful stretch
of countryside as an ideal place to
relax, rustle up a meal and graze
their cattle.
reflect the heritage of the early
pioneer buildings in the Victorian
Alpine High Country. Built of stone,
timber and corrugated iron and
often boasting magnificent stone
fireplaces, each blends in beautifully
with the surrounding snow gums
and the high plains landscape.
OUR VILLAGE
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.

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 fireside, 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 wildflowers? 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
5
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
wildflowers 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 fishing. Enjoy the last of
summer’s wildflowers and the crisp
evenings that foretell the winter
snows.
During winter, the mountains are
at their most magnificent, 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 fire
before enjoying dinner at one of
the many dining options with a fine
bottle of local wine.

HIGH COUNTRY HUTS*
Boggy Creek Hut
During the summer of 2003 a
number of fires swept through the
Australian alps. Some historic huts
were burnt and may remain as ruins,
so if planning to visit a hut please
first check its status with Parks
Victoria or the Visitor Information
Centre in the village.
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.
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 fires 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.
22
JB Hut
Wire Plain Hut
VISITING THE HUTS
There is a locked cattleman’s hut
on the northern side of the Great
Alpine Road at Wire Plain.
Enjoy visiting the huts but please
do not use them for overnight
accommodation. Huts are for
temporary refuge only.
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
Leave the hut clean and secure.
If you must use the fireplace,
check the fire 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.

Alpine Bogs are rare in Australia;
they can be defined as a
permanently wet area of ground
that supports a range of flora 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
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 fires.
DO:
DON’T:
• 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
