Omeo Voyage Tips and guide

Omeo is a small town of 411 (2021) in Victoria's East Gippsland region. It sits close to the snowline and one of the only towns on the eastern end of the Victorian Alps. It is mainly a service town along the Great Alpine Road, thus having very little to see but plenty of accommodation options.

There is one daily bus service from Bairnsdale – the 14 Bairnsdale–Omeo – on weekdays. On M–Th the bus leaves Bairnsdale Station at 1:25PM, arriving in at 4PM, while on Fridays the service leaves at 3:40PM and arrives at 6:15PM.
