Bright is a small town in the Victorian High Country that’s known for its picturesque mountain landscape.
Although the town is small, there are so many things to do in Bright, and it’s one of Victoria’s most popular destinations – especially for Christmas and around the Bright Autumn Festival.
Best known as the gateway to Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park, there is more to see and do here than just outdoor adventures.
Those visiting in the winter can hit the ski slopes, while in the summer, the cross country skiing routes turn into excellent mountain biking tracks.
It’s also a top wine growing region with several vineyards and cellar doors to explore, and foodies can relish in the fresh produce sourced from it’s many surrounding farms.
Whether you’re passing through on the Great Alpine Road or you’re looking for a small town to relax in for a while, here are all the best attractions in Bright, Victoria, to make sure you don’t miss out on.
1. Bike the Rail Trail
Our favourite way to get around Bright is by bike.
If you enjoy a gentle bike ride, then ride along the Rail Trail, an overhanging, tree-lined section of the 94km Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail (cycle way).
The bitumen sealed track is well suited to both cycling and walking and links the townships of Wangaratta, Beechworth, Myrtleford, Porepunkah and Bright.
We also cycled the 6km track to Porepunkah to have lunch at the Rail Trail Cafe, which is where you’ll find some of the best Mexican food in Australia – for real.
We recommend going a little further if you can to Feathertop Winery (10km one way trip from Bright.)
2. Grab a pint of craft beer at Bright Brewery
You know that rail trail into town? It took us right to the Bright Brewery and a pint of some of the nicest cider you’ll ever try. They also have pretty good beer.
And get this parents of small children – the beer garden looks straight out over the kids playground.
Perfect for parents and kids.
Craig and I enjoyed a rare moment of time out and adult conversation. No wonder we became frequent visitors.
