Walk along the Dinner Plain 4WD Track though Snow Gum woodlands and grassy plains to the rim of high cliffs at the edge of Precipice Plain and overlooking Precipice Creek. Precipice Plain is a unique geological feature which lies 4km south of Dinner Plain. With its spectacular outlook across the remote Dargo Valley, this is a great place to enjoy sunset in the high country and soak up fresh mountain air and cool breezes in summer.
From Dinner Plain, the Dinner Plain Track starts at the Great Alpine Road at the western boundary of the village. After about 1km a side track is available to Carmichael Falls via a 2km return walk. The falls are well worth a visit with twin cascades plunging over a 25m basalt cliff to the Precipice Creek below (for more information, see Carmichael Falls track note).
The Dinner Plain Track follows the ridgeline of the Great Dividing Range from Dinner Plain, beyond Precipice Plain and down to Mayford Spur above the Dargo River. The road reserve was widened after back-burning during the 2013 bushfires, creating a permanent firebreak. The western edge of Precipice Plain drops almost vertically to a narrow valley below that joins the Dargo Valley. Mt. Tabletop is directly opposite and there are sweeping views of the Dargo catchment.
 

Weather conditions can change rapidly, and snowfalls and blizzards can occur at any time of the year.
