Jamieson

The small town of Jamieson is located at the south-eastern corner of Lake Eildon at the junction of the Goulburn and Jamieson Rivers. Mansfield is 37 kilometres to the north, while Eildon is 62 kilometres westwards along a partially unsealed road which offers fine scenery as it skirts the southern boundary of the Lake Eildon National Park.

Jamieson is set within a picturesque valley that is surrounded by dense bush mountain terrain. The town centre of Jamieson is surrounded on three sides by the Jamieson River where you can go fishing, swimming, kayaking or simply relax and enjoy the serenity.

Gold mining ceased by the early 1900s and tourism took over as Jamieson's main industry. A number of historic buildings in town remain as a legacy to those thriving mining days.

Visitors to Jamieson can enjoy water-based activities in the rivers and neighbouring Lake Eildon, bushwalking through the Lake Eildon National Park and surrounding forests, scenic mountain drives through unspoilt bushland, bird watching, horse riding and bike riding.

Around 10 kilometres south of Jamieson is the small community of Kevington. The Kevington Hotel (built in 1862) is the region's oldest surviving hotel.
