Rugged terrain
For a real treat, enjoy a bird’s eye view over the spectacular Victorian Alps via helicopter. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, a walk to the summit of Mt Buller also delivers spectacular 360 degree views over neighbouring mountain ranges. Return to the mountain in winter for an experience of a different kind. Play in the snow, build a snowman or tackle some of Australia’s best terrain on skis, snowboard or toboggan. The High Country is a popular destination for camping so be sure to plan ahead if coming on a long weekend.

Hidden treasures
Follow the winding dirt roads past Jamieson into gold rush territory. You will discover tiny cottages, chimney ruins, crumbling dry-stone walls and rusted mining artefacts.

A trip to the region is not complete without visiting an iconic mountain hut. These rustic huts played a key role in the High Country’s history with many named after local families. Hear their stories first hand from mountain cattlemen, often found at one of the local watering holes. The most famous mountain hut is Craig’s Hut, built for the filming of The Man from Snowy River movie.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fry’s Hut, built by owner Fred Fry, is the basis of Neville Shute’s 1950  novel ‘The Far Country’. Originally built in the 1950’s, Bluff Hut is the third highest hut in Australia.

Trail blazing – HORSEBACK HEAVEN
Travel on horseback through remote bushland, along open ridgelines and through multiple river crossings. Explore the Howqua Hills and Howqua Valley, making use of the horse yards at Fry’s Flat and Tunnel Bend Flat. Local trail rides can also take you to one of the many cattlemen huts, including Razorback Hut and Craig’s Hut.

For a horseback adventure closer to town, travel along the old railway, now converted into the Great Victorian Rail Trail.
