High Country Parks - Page 4 of 6

Every season is a fresh-air winner in the High Country. Seek the snow at Falls Creek, Mount Buffalo or Mount Hotham. Stroll among a kaleidoscope of autumn colour. Spring into wildflowers and abundant birdlife. Or chill out on summer days with fishing, kayaking, horseriding, abseiling or hiking trails forged by long-gone cattlemen and bushrangers.

Park up the van or pitch the tent at a tourist park located by a crystal clear river, in the wild bush, nestled in the foothills or perched mountain-high.

Get up close to the charm and country hospitality of Benalla, Beechworth and Rutherglen. Cruise the Great Alpine Road through national parks and state forests, through tiny villages and wild reaches to the rural city of Wangaratta. As you go, pause to ponder pristine rivers and lakes, eerie snowgum forests and high-rise plains stretching to the horizon.

Feast on the surprising flavours of the High Country; hatted restaurants, welcoming country pubs, celebrated bakeries, food artisans and provedores and six separate wine regions all to savour.

The big skies, legendary myths and incredible scenery of this region elevate every road trip to an unforgettable journey.
