Bright

Tree lined road in Bright

Located on the beautiful Ovens River and nestled in the valley below Mount Buffalo, the village of Bright is one of Victoria's most attractive tourist destinations. Each year in autumn, the deciduous trees along the main street put on a breathtaking display of colour. This legacy of the original pioneers who planted the avenues of elms, chestnuts, poplars and scarlet oaks has been enhanced by the gardens of local residents that contribute to Bright's autumn splendour.

Outdoor adventure
Close to the Alpine National Park and within a short drive of the snowfields of Falls Creek, Mount Hotham and Mount Buffalo, Bright offers a range of outdoor activities to entertain visitors all year round.

Food and wine
The wealth of food and wine in the Alpine Valleys is also fast becoming one of the region's most popular attractions with world-class wineries, stunning produce, award-winning restaurants and a casual café culture to choose from.

Picturesque setting
Follow one of the many walking and bicycle paths around the village and view its picturesque natural setting from lookouts over the valley and surrounding mountains.
