Bright is at the foot of the Victorian Alpine district, and our usual stopping off point when we head up the Alps to Mt Hotham for skiing. The kids wanted a camping experience, but we ruled out bush camping because we wanted the security of a Holiday Park, so we could have a day out on nearby Mt Buffallo and climbed to the summit -Mt Horn, without worrying about leaving all our gear.
We also walked the 3.6 km Bright Canyon walk in high 30’s temp. Kids couldn’t resist getting soaked , fully clothed on the way back in the river. The Ovens has a huge gold history, so there were lots of interpretive boards along the way, plus a swing bridge and our 4th geocache of the trip.
The holiday park had a pool, mini golf 18 holes, was very picturesque, over run with kids (but it was still school holidays), had a river running through the middle which was great for cooling off, and very central to the town centre. We kept meals quick and easy and the Kids had a fabulous time.
Bright is even more spectacular in autumn, we will have to go back again.
As fun as it was for a change, we are looking forward to our first trip out with our caravan. Probably March!
Lovely photo of the kids. I'm sure they had fun on that bridge.
ReplyDeleteYeah, once I showed them it was safe!
