Located 4.2 kilometres from Bombala on the Delegate Road, the Platypus Reserve is an ideal spot to see platypus. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to see platypus. The raised platform makes viewing easy for all age groups. Platypus can stay underwater for up to 14 minutes, but more commonly they will only remain under for between 60 to 90 seconds, so be patient and quiet when you are viewing this national treasure. The on-site information board provides you with comprehensive details about the platypus. The reserve is a great spot to sit and enjoy lunch or simply soak up the peace and quiet. Picnic tables are provided and there are two bird hides to allow you to really experience the bird life.

'The Italian flag flutters proudly alongside the Australian outside Michelini's headquarters in the tree-lined main avenue of beautiful Myrtleford, giving a clue to the fascinating cultural mix found in this alpine corner of Victoria. The wines show it too, with Michelini now specialising in Italian grape varieties like Pinot Grigio, Barbera, Sangiovese, Marzemino and Fragolino, rather than more conventional fare.' RALPH KYTE-POWELL "Situated between Mt Buffalo and Devil's Creek in the Buckland Valley, Michelini Wines was established in 1982 by Emo Michelini and his two sons, Ilario and Dino, continuing a family winemaking tradition dating back to 1851. The Merlot is the pride of the Michelini stable, boasting vibrant red colour and violet fruit characters integrated with French oak. Like the Michelini family, Marzemino originates from the Trentino region in northern Italy, and this limited release wine displays deep colour, marzipan and chocolate notes on the nose and savoury finish. Another Italian variety, the Fragolino is made from the strawberry flavoured Fragola grape in a dessert style wine."

Located only a few kilometres from Thredbo, Dead Horse Gap crosses the Great Dividing Range at 1580 metres and the watershed between the Thredbo Snowy System and the Murray River. The reference to dead horses apparently relates to the brumbies that sometimes became trapped in this area during unexpected snowfalls and died. There are some magnificent views into New South Wales and Victoria. There is a parking area and walking track.
