Mt Beauty
& the Kiewa Valley
POP 1654
Huddled at the foot of Victoria's highest mountain, Mt Bogong (1986m), on the Kiewa
River, Mt Beauty and its twin villages of Tawonga and Tawonga South are the gateways
to Falls Creek ski resort. It's reached by a steep and winding road from Bright with some
lovely alpine views, particularly from Tawonga Gap Lookout . A scenic loop drive is via the
Happy Valley Tourist Road from Ovens to Mt Beauty.
The Mt Beauty Music Festival ( www.musicmuster.org.au ) brings together folk, blues and country
musicians in April.
