The beauty of living on the boarder next to the great murray river, and in the heart of the high country, is that there are so many AMAZING places to explore just around the corner.

Late yesterday afternoon we decided to pack up Peppy (our home-away-from-home pajero) and go for a little adventure.

We had been recommended to go to the pub in Mitta Mitta, as it had recently undergone big renovations. So we made our way to the foot of the Great Dividing Range and we weren’t disappointed.

Mitta Mitta is a tiny picturesque place along the Omeo highway, and the meeting point of Snowy Creek and the Mitta Mitta River. We arrived in the late afternoon and the sun was low in the clear blue sky. We walked into the pub and were speechless. No sticky beer drenched carpet, or seedy men sitting at a dimly lit bar. Instead, it was fresh and open. Lovely reclaimed timber benches, modern country decor and friendly bar staff.

We headed outside with beer and cider in hand and admired the setting sun over the river. A lovely meal was to follow, and then back on the road to find a spot to camp up for the night.

We followed the Snowy River for only a short while when we found a little clearing perfect for us. We quickly gathered enough wood to start a small fire, and enjoyed the evening star gazing and fire watching.

In the morning we had a (very) refreshing dip in the river, and then packed up camp and made our way to Lake Dartmouth, stopping off to admire scenery along the way, before heading back home.
