Cassilis and the Cassilis Road are also the Wine and
Gold Drive. As you can see from the signage which is
about 1 km out from Omeo, this drive is an official loop
on the Great Alpine Road. The other end is at Swifts
Creek township (about 30km) where it rejoins the
Great Alpine Road.
Its all very easy to find on any map!
