DARGO GENERAL STORE

At the foot of the Dargo High Plains
Dargo is situated in the picturesque Dargo River valley at the lower end of the Dargo High Plains Road. 

The Dargo Store offers fuel, food, groceries plus a good range of maps and guide books. 

The mountains and river valleys around Dargo are a four-wheel drive paradise. This is one of the many river fords in the Crooked River area. (Wongungarra/Crooked River junction).
This old hut can be found beneath the walnut trees at Black Snake Creek on the Wonnangatta River. There is a good riverside camping area near the hut. 

Blacks Snake Creek once hosted some gold mining activity, relics of which can still be found a short distance upstream along the creek.

 

A grassy clearing surrounded by high mountains is a former township site on the Crooked River goldfields named Talbotville. The site now offers one of the best camping environments in the Victorian Alps.

Travel Tip

If you are travelling to or from Dargo via Stratford or Bairnsdale and are looking for a scenic place to spend a few moments, try the Final Fling Rapids at Glenaladale. To find this great spot on the Mitchell River, locate The Fingerboards Junction (cross roads) at the Fernbank (to Princes Highway) & Bairnsdale Road Junction. Follow the minor sealed road opposite the Fernbank Road which leads to the tiny hamlet of Glenaladale. Turn right into the Lindenow/Ferndale Road and then left (before the bridge) into Alexanders & Finlay Road. The parking area for the rapids is at the end of this road. The rapids are named 'Final Fling' by canoeists and white-water rafters as it is the last opportunity for some excitement before the calm waters of the Lower Mitchell River are reached.
