Apparently the town of Omeo was on the route of the original Alpine Rally. In 1921 the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria held their first reliability rally in the Omeo Shire. An R.A.C.V Road Service Station in Omeo was called the Omeo Alpine Motor Garage. The photo below would appear to show one of the early R.A.C.V. rallies in Omeo. It's said local residents journeyed some distance to watch the cars pass through. The number plate is the same format and the hats the same style.
