It’s believed that the name Merrijig is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning “well done” — a worthy refrain should you happen to secure your Merrijig accommodation during the snowy season, when skiers and snowboards from all over the country flock to Mount Buller to lay tracks on its 300 hectares of well-groomed terrain. In summer, Merrijig packs in the outdoor activities, from horseback riding through the Boorolite Valley to two-wheeling it along the legendary Australian Alpine Epic Mountain Biking Trail to cool-off dunks in the gentle Delatite River. Once you’re ready to rest your bones and refuel, Merrijig lays out an impressive collection of bars, bistros, and casual cafes for a town of only 600 inhabitants.
