Mount Tambo is a mountain located to the north-east of Omeo in Victoria, Australia.[1] Its peak is 1,430 metres above sea level.[2] It lies within the boundaries of the 6,050 hectare Marble Gully – Mount Tambo Nature Conservation Reserve.[2]
The 2,740 hectare Mount Tambo Reserve was listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1990.[3]
Rare plant species found in Marble Gully – Mount Tambo Nature Conservation Reserve include marble daisy bush, delicate New Holland-daisy, and limestone pomaderris.[4]
To the near north-east is Little Mount Tambo (1,227 metres). The headwaters from Deep Creek, which feeds in to the Tambo River, are on the south-east slopes.[2]
It marks the intersection of the boundaries of the counties of Benambra, Dargo and Tambo.[2]
While travelling with Georg Neumayer's expedition to Mount Kosciuszko in 1862, the painter Eugene von Guerard produced a sketch Mt Tambo & Omeo Swamps 10 Nov 62[5] and later an oil painting Mount Tambo from the Omeo Station 1862.
