Eskdale

Eskdale is a small rural town in north-east Victoria, situated on the Omeo Highway and in the Mitta Mitta River valley, 55 km south-east of Wodonga. It is thought that the name was derived from an English place name, the Esk River or Eskdale, Cumberland.

Eskdale has been the site of minor gold mining, mineral surveys of good tin ores, and of a pocket of agriculture in a wider part of the Mitta Mitta Valley. The river flats provide good dairying and grazing land, backed by forested ranges.
