Melbourne & Victoria - The High Country (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
With its enticing mix of history, adventure and culinary temptations, Victoria’s High Country is a wonderful place to spend some time. It includes Victoria’s Alps – a mountain playground attracting skiers and snowboarders in winter and bushwalkers and mountain bikers in summer. Away from the mountain tops, there are activities aplenty and Bright is one of the loveliest gateway towns in the state. Throw in historic towns such as Beechworth, the wineries of King Valley and the gourmet food offerings of Milawa and you’ll find plenty of reasons to linger.
