Within the Mt Beauty Visitor Centre is this interesting little museum that covers the history of the Kiewa Valley and Bogong High Plains, from the area's Indigenous Dhudhuroa people through to the colonial highland cattlemen. There's a replica of an old mountain hut, historical background on skiing in the region, and info on the Bogong Power Station.
