Heading south to Benalla on the Hume Highway? Don't just drive through — make time to stop, stretch and discover one of the region's most surprising little gems.
Mokoan Rest Stop Southbound is more than a convenient roadside break. It's a chance to slow down, enjoy striking public art and follow a short walking trail to Day's Lookout, where sweeping views over the Winton Wetlands open up before you.
Just a 10-minute return walk, the path has a gentle incline and a big reward at the top, especially at sunset, when the wetlands glow with colour. Whether you're travelling with family, chasing the perfect photo, looking for a quiet nature moment or simply keen to explore somewhere new, this easy stop is well worth adding to your journey.
Pull in, look around and let the view surprise you — this is the kind of road trip stop that turns a quick break into a memorable Benalla experience.
