Towns & villages

Thirteen towns ring the lake and the High Country — from gold-rush villages to quiet boat-ramp hamlets.

Eildon, Alexandra and Mansfield have supermarkets, fuel and the basics. Stock up before the smaller towns.

Country bakeries, pubs and a growing handful of good cafes. Bonnie Doon and Jamieson are worth the detour.

Monthly farmers markets rotate through the towns — produce, coffee and local makers.
