Bright in Victoria Australia A Getaway For The Nature Lover by Sidney Morgan
Green valleys, rivers and lakes, alpine woods: Bright, Victoria, has it all. Come for water or land sports. Tour from above for spectacular views and a test of your nerve. Enjoy good food and a comfortable bed.
If you came to water ski, canoe, kayak or raft, this Victoria town was a good choice. The Ovens and Buckland Rivers offer you miles of water to test your skills or learn from experts. Stick to a bit of quiet fly fishing on Lake Buffalo or at its edge.
Keep your feet on terra firma if you prefer. Gold fever may be over, but there is still gold in them hills. You could find some for yourself by panning, though only a little. Tours take prospectors through popular panning areas while local museums tell how the gold rush affected the area and its people.
Rent a bike or bring your own and explore numerous trails. A convenient map will highlight short, medium and long trails suitable for all levels or rider. Pick out family friendly ones and hire all the equipment you need including child tandem and infant trailer for a ride your whole crew can enjoy.
Look up and you might see yourself: or, yourself as you dream to be. Flying high above Bright, getting an incredible view of the town, valley and rivers, are a number of brave people. They fly by microlight, hang glider or paraglider. You can too. Just make arrangements for lessons and start soaring, just like in your dreams.
Thrills are one thing, but sometimes small wonders are enough. Parks and forests like Buckland Valley State Forest, Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park offer opportunities to get close to Australian soil at your own pace. Then again, Mount Buffalo also boasts its share of adrenaline junkies. Abseiling and climbing are often enjoyed and even taught here. Join a class or just watch one if getting close to nature is a bit slow for your liking.
All of this activity will likely make tourists hungry, even if they only watch. Several restaurants, cafes and bakeries serve meals and light snacks. Wineries and hotels often combine their core concern with the business of feeding travelers. For fine, seasonal food, try Poplars. Edelweiss Bakery serves coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and so many pies you may need to stay extra long if narrowing down your favourites to just one poses an impossible challenge.
Should a glass of wine make you sleepy, fall into bed at Ovens Valley Motor Inn. Here guests enjoy the added satisfaction of supporting green initiatives, as every effort is made here to be environmentally neutral. In spite of this fact, guests still enjoy the luxury of a pool and spa. Bright Motor Inn sits within walking distance of eating and shopping opportunities. Bring your family for a convenient break here, or choose from the self-catering, bed and breakfast and other numerous possible places to stay.
