Merrijig information and attractions

Introduction:

Merrijig is a small town located almost half-way between Mansfield and the popular alpine ski resort of Mount Buller and the less developed Moutn Stirling. Merrijig's close proximity to Mount Buller makes it an alternative base for visitors who don't wish to stay at Buller's Alpine Village, but do want to cut down on longer trip between the large town of Mansfield and Mount Buller.

Merrijig is situated in the scenic Great Dividing Range, offering beautiful scenery and a number attractive of picnic areas along the Delatite River which passes through the town on its route between Mount Buller and Lake Eildon. The Hunt Club Hotel was established in Merrijig in 1873, and provides excellent meals at very reasonable prices.

Travellers are advised that there is no petrol available at Merrijig, Mount Buller or Mount Stirling, so either ensure you have plenty of supplies or fill up at Mansfield.
