Summary
Weather for Bogong High Plains

In summer, traverse the Bogong High Plains from Mt Beauty. This route climbs through thick forests of alpine ash and snow gum to the rolling country of the High Plains before it descends towards the historic township of Omeo. For some of the best views of the High Country take a detour along the road near the Rocky Valley Dam up to Mt McKay. At 1849m above sea level, it is the highest spot in Australia accessible by road.

The Bogong Plains area is a sea of natural colour in the warmer months. You are able to visit old cattle drovers' huts and relive the history of the men who drove their livestock around the region. Camping is available in the summer on the streams of the Kiewa Valley, in the Alpine National Park and the State Forest, at Joker Flat on the Mitta Mitta River and the Cobungra River at Anglers.

The rivers, reservoirs and pondage provide excellent fishing, boating and other water sports. Lake Dartmouth to the northeast of Mt Bogong is one of the best freshwater fishing spots in Australia and there are three camping grounds by the lake.
