The Blue Duck Inn/River Homestead has one of the most picturesque settings in regional Australia. It is located on the confluence of three rivers: the Cobungra, the Bundara, and the Mitta Mitta River.
The Blue Duck Inn totally epitomises the great hotels and lodging houses in regional Australia and is a testimony to its forefathers, who constructed it well over 125 years ago. The atmospheric high-country feel is throughout the bars, restaurant and cabins, all of which are self-contained.
The Blue Duck Inn is located at Anglers Rest, and as the name implies, the three rivers that run within the valley are home to some of the best trout ever caught in the high country.
The Blue Duck Inn was constructed in 1900 and was added to and partially relocated in the 1920s. The site is also the home of one of the first schools in the area, which still stands as a small log cabin, which is seen in the photography. The school originally housed the OConnell family, as they had so many children.
