Ournie rests in a fold of country where the ancient hills begin to soften, their slopes cloaked in the deep green of mature eucalypts. It lies 88.7 km east-north-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 27.0 km north of Corryong. The air here carries the clean scent of pine and the faint, sweet perfume of unseen wildflowers, particularly after a rain. The land rolls with a quiet dignity, the earth a rich, ruddy brown, crisscrossed by the silvery threads of small creeks that whisper secrets to the stones. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, falls in broad, warm swathes, illuminating the tenacious grasses and the occasional hardy shrub that clings to the steeper inclines. The sky above is vast and often a startling, clear blue, a fitting canvas for the infrequent, dramatic cloud formations that drift across the horizon.
The history of Ournie is written in the weathered timber of its few remaining farm buildings, remnants of a time when closer settlement was the dream. This is a landscape shaped by the pastoralist's hand, where sheep have grazed for generations, their gentle bleating a familiar sound that drifts on the breeze. The local economy, though modest, is anchored in the land; a handful of producers still work the soil, their livelihoods tied to the cycles of the seasons and the price of wool. Travellers passing through Ournie will find a place where the pace of life is dictated by the sun's arc rather than the clock's insistent ticking, a quiet corner of the Snowy Valleys where the echoes of the past are still felt in the texture of the earth.
