Explore Mogo Village

You can also enjoy our eateries with fantastic dishes and great coffee. You will notice the ‘old time’ character of Mogo Village has endured, because many of the newer buildings have been designed to complement the surviving miners’ cottages. Mogo is home to the Monaro and Yuin people who have significant heritage in the area with many Aboriginal sites and features being identified. In the language of the Yuin people the word ‘Mogo is said to mean ‘Stone Axe and large camping ground’.
