Mount Tambo is a mountain in Victoria, Australia, northeast of Omeo. Its peak reaches 1,430 metres above sea level. It sits within the Marble Gully – Mount Tambo Nature Conservation Reserve, which covers about 6,050 hectares. The nearby Mount Tambo Reserve, covering about 2,740 hectares, was listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1990. Rare plants found there include marble daisy bush, delicate New Holland-daisy, and limestone pomaderris. To the northeast is Little Mount Tambo, at 1,227 metres. The southeast slopes are where Deep Creek begins, feeding the Tambo River. Mount Tambo marks the meeting point of the counties of Benambra, Dargo and Tambo. In 1862, while Georg Neumayer’s expedition to Mount Kosciuszko traveled, the painter Eugene von Guerard sketched Mount Tambo & Omeo Swamps and later painted Mount Tambo from Omeo Station.
