With around 300 houses and apartments, all built in the spirit of the high country cattlemen's huts, Dinner Plain is located above the snowline at 1520 metres and surrounded by the Alpine National Park. There's no other village in Australia like Dinner Plain, and it's time for you to experience it yourself.

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.
