EAT & DRINK
On Point Brewery
Situated in the charming but vibrant town of Alexandra, nestled between Lake Eildon and the picturesque Goulburn river, On Point Brewery provides a spot for locals and tourists alike to get together and share a beer.
A long-time dream of co-founders Chris Turner and James Smith, On Point Brewery calls the old Alexandra Butter Factory home, a beautiful and striking building in which some of Australia’s best beers are lovingly brewed.
Their approach to brewing is simple; make great craft beer inspired by the beauty of the local landscape.
Each of their beers are made with an emphasis on quality. And no matter whether you’re taking a dip in Lake Eildon on a summer afternoon, chasing that elusive trout on the mighty Goulburn river, or simply relaxing in front of the campfire as the sun goes down, we have a beer for you!
The taproom and dog friendly beer garden are open Friday through to Sunday with a great selection of on-site brewed beers, as well as pizzas and kransky sausages available all day.
FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Dindi Daze
Dindi Daze, now in its second year, is a fun-filled, family-focused celebration of everything that makes Murrindindi great. Held in Rotary Park, this year’s event builds on the success of its inaugural year and has evolved to place even greater emphasis on families and community members.
The day will feature a range of children’s activities, including free face painting, games, and competitions. A highlight will be the mobile animal farm, where children will have the opportunity to pat, feed, and hold the animals.
Local performers will provide entertainment throughout the event, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy food, local craft beers, wines, and spirits, as well as arts and crafts stalls, an historic vehicle display, and even steam train rides.
A range of community-based stalls focused on mental health, healthy ageing, and support for victims of family violence, further strengthening Dindi Daze’s and Rotary’s commitment to community wellbeing.
The focus of Dindi Daze is to bring the Murrindindi community together to celebrate everything that makes our region special and, of course, to have some fun. The event also aims to attract visitors and tourists, providing an opportunity to showcase local talent, including our region’s musicians, art, crafts, food, wine, and beer.
