Self-Guided Walks
Jamieson's fascinating history has been recorded in 3 self-guided walks (Heritage, Significant Trees, Cemetery), with brochures available from PO, General Store, Caravan Park and Museum.
You can also download the Heritage and Trees walks from the buttons on this page. Downloading will not just save printing costs but also save a few trees.
Waterways
Positioned on the banks of two rivers & Victoria's largest inland waterway, Jamieson is ideal for water sports. There's a boat ramp nearby for water skiing on Lake Eildon. The Goulburn & Big Rivers have great white water for canoeing and rafting. In summer, the Goulburn is ideal for lazy canoeing - launch at Knockwood and paddle to the Kevington Hotel for lunch & finish the afternoon in Jamieson! Of course, you can just swim in the clear shaded waters of the Jamieson & Goulburn Rivers.
Bush-Walking
There are endless walks around the rivers, hills and valleys of Jamieson to suit all standards including The Heritage Walk, The Significant Trees Walk and The Island Walk. As a gateway to the Alpine National Park, there are also spectacular Alpine walks nearby. Maps are available at the General Store. Download the Heritage Walk
Fishing
In winter, Jamieson is surrounded by snow capped hills. At the head of the Jamieson Valley the road climbs steeply onto Mt. Skene which, along with Mt. Sterling and the Bluff Range, provide excellent coss-country ski terrain. In less than one hour, you can be on the slopes of Mt. Buller with its extensive downhill areas. Jamieson is an ideal off-mountain alternative for skiing accommodation.
Tennis
The Jamieson tennis court is on Perkins Street opposite the Catholic Church, between the Museum and the public restrooms. This court is for hire. Fees can be paid, and key obtained, at the Jamieson Caravan Park.
BirdWatching
There are many bird habitats in the Jamieson region, from Alpine, down through wet and dry eucalyptus forests to the waterways of Eildon and the river systems. Common around Jamieson are large flocks of King Parrots, Black Cockatoos, Kookaburras, Superb Blue Wrens, Gang Gangs and Rosellas. The morning birdsong is stunning.

4WD-ing
Jamieson is a mecca for four wheel drive enthusiasts, with a network of bush trails, firetracks and access tracks to suit all standards. The track from Jamieson in to Mitchell's via Wrens Flat and then out via the Slate Mine is a great loop. Check at Jamieson River Automotives for any info, and purchase maps at the General Store.
