[3] Post Offices opened at Tawonga South (to the north) on 15 April 1943 and at Mount Beauty on 17 February 1947.

[2] The climate of Mount Beauty is truly seasonal, with chilling winters, cool wet springs, warm summers with blue skies and colourful autumns.

Mount Beauty has its own annual music festival, mountain bike competition and regular weekend markets on the first Saturday of each month.

The town is a launching point for trips to the Falls Creek ski resort, and to the Bogong High Plains.

To this end there are several ski hire shops, eateries, and a bus company doing daily trips to and from the resort at Falls Creek, 32 km distant.
