Tarrawingee located off the Great Alpine Road, is said to come from an Aboriginal word which means ‘plenty of water’.
A very small township which hosts a number of historic buildings, including the Plough Inn, a two–storey hotel built in 1864.
The historic Plough Inn Hotel is open six days a week, and is the perfect place to stop by for a great meal or just call in for a drink!
