The Seldom Seen Roadhouse ( 37° 6'43.95"S 148°15'0.56"E ) is located near 5373 Gelantipy Rd Wulgulmerang East VIC 3885 in the Shire of East Gippsland, in the north-east of Victoria, Australia.
It is a remote locality in the Victorian high country, close to the Snowy River between the Alpine National Park and the Snowy River National Park. The site of the roadhouse is on a sealed road. The road is, in fact, sealed from the Princes Highway at Bairnsdale right through to the Little River Gorge, a short drive to the east of the Seldom Seen roadhouse site.
The area, including the roadhouse and the nearby settlements of Wulgulmerang, Gelantipy, and Suggan Buggan, in Victoria; and Black Mountain in New South Wales were burnt out in the 2003 Eastern Victorian alpine bushfires.
Before the bushfires, Seldom Seen Roadhouse was a fairly typical 1960s-era petrol station.
The roadhouse at Seldom Seen was trading in March 2005 from a caravan which was then replaced with a more permanent structure however since the passing of the Owner in 2012 the status of the Roadhouse and services are unknown. Dave was the owner, he relied on the small tourist trade during the 90s and 2000s. Unfortunately that trade was always diminishing, a few tourist buses from Melbourne would make the trip through daily but they stopped also around 2010. Dave was originally from Scotland. He always had plenty of time for everyone, a real character of the high country that will be missed by many not knowing his full story. The area has been completely cleaned up all that remains is a hut and phone box.
