WELCOME TO THE
HIGH COUNTRY HALL OF FAME
Although it doesn’t stand yet, its story began many years ago...
OUR VISION
The Hall of Fame is a place where stories live on, where the spirit of the High Country is honoured, and where visitors can feel the heartbeat of the bush. A place to learn, remember, connect, and be inspired by the people, horses, and heritage that shaped this land.

A Legacy Project with No Equal in Victoria
The High Country Hall of Fame will be the only cattlemen heritage facility in Victoria. It will provide visitors with a cultural experience taking them through a long lost High-Country journey. The jaw dropping 3-story-high timber post museum will be supported by a collection of replica buildings based on the Man from Snowy River movie locations and traditional high-country huts. Each location will have content focused on a different heritage experience or local cattlemen family.
