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!   Kayak rental is available at the Jamieson Caravan Park. 

Of course, you can just swim in the clear shaded waters of the Jamieson & Goulburn Rivers.

Bush-Walking

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.
