Dinner Plain

Overview

If you love a relaxed village atmosphere in the mountains Dinner Plain is your kind of place. From the powder white snow in winter to the rocky green hill sides in summer, Dinner Plain is a film makers wonderland.

There are tennis courts in the village, while nearby are guided walks, trail rides, mountain bike tours, flyfishing excursions and white water rafting. The airport is just 10 minutes down the road, and is open year-round for charter operations and private aircraft, making film making an accessible delight.

History

In the 1980s, noted architect Peter McIntyre and real estate visionary John Castran decided to create a distinctive village in Australia's only freehold land above the snowline. All 250 of its homes, apartments and lodges reflect the heritage of the early pioneer buildings in the Victorian 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.
