The Missing Sock

Part of the Alpine Junction precinct in Albert Town, this tidy little spot is popular with road-trippers and riders fresh off the Clutha River trails. The Missing Sock is an easy place to reset: put a load on, freshen up in the on-site showers, and grab supplies nearby before you head out again.
