Four-season adventures await in this highland town—one of Victoria’s most popular vacation spots.
If you’re exploring Victoria’s High Country or road-tripping along the Great Alpine Road, you’ll want to add this highland village to your itinerary. In the foothills of the Alps, Bright is the gateway to the Buckland Valley State Forest, Mount Buffalo National Park, and Alpine National Park, and the starting point of the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. Outdoor adventures are enjoyable year-round from Bright. Escape the summer heat to hike, rock climb, or kayak around Mount Buffalo, visit in autumn to admire the region’s spectacular fall foliage, or come in winter when the snowy peaks harbor some of Victoria’s best ski slopes. With a motorhome or caravan, camping is possible through all four seasons, too. Take your pick between rural Hipcamps and bush camping in the national parks (best for self-sufficient campers), or check into one of the holiday parks or caravan parks for powered sites and full amenities.
