Spring in the High Country is something you need to experience on horseback.

After the cold months, the mountains start waking up — the hills turn green, creeks are running, wildflowers start popping up and the mornings have that crisp alpine feel. It’s one of our favourite times to ride.

If you’re heading up this way, don’t just drive through Bright and tick the High Country off your list. Slow down and explore it properly.

🐎 Start with a ride at Spring Spur Horseback Adventures. Get off the main roads and into the bush, where you can experience the landscape the way it was meant to be seen — from horseback. Keep an eye out for kangaroos, wombats, native birds and, if you’re lucky, some of the local wildlife that calls these hills home.

🌿 Head up towards Mount Buffalo. Take the time to drive beyond the township and explore the alpine scenery. Stop at the lookouts, stretch your legs on one of the many walks and pack a picnic — spring is a beautiful time to see the waterfalls and mountain wildflowers.

🍎 Explore Bright, Mount Beauty & Surrounds. Grab a coffee, wander the local shops and galleries, and take the scenic roads rather than rushing from one attraction to the next. Wandiligong in particular is worth slowing down for.

🚲 Ride the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. Hire a bike in Bright and make your way through the vineyards, farmland and little country towns. You don’t have to tackle the whole trail — pick a section and enjoy the scenery.

🍷 Make time for the local wineries, breweries and cideries. The King Valley and surrounding High Country are full of great places to stop for a long lunch, local wine or a tasting.

Ask the locals what’s new — there are plenty of hidden gems that don’t make every tourist. Book your Spring getaway in the Vic High Country ! 🤠
