This spot marks the centre of Tambo Crossing, 
at the junction of the Old Coach Road to Omeo 
and today's highway.

The Sir Walter Scott Hotel and post office stood 
here 1890-1961, with the public hall and school 
300 metres to the west.

The original river crossing was less than 500 
metres to the south east as were the McDougall 
Inn, store and family cemetery.
