AUTUMN IN THE HIGH COUNTRY

misty mornings and spectacular colour displays

GOLDEN AUTUMN

As autumn kicks into gear across Victoria's High Country, chase fallen leaves in historic parks and heritage townships, hike into the hills or discover the delight of cycling the rail trail in search of the season's freshest produce.

Take to the skies in a hot air balloon.

Float above the mountains and valleys on a hot air balloon flight.

Flights embark from Milawa and Mansfield, so you can watch the sun rise over a verdant landscape as you soar above the rolling mist.

You can even tack on a Prosecco Brunch afterwards, too!

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.

Running from Beechworth all the way down the hill to charming Yackandandah, the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail offers a relaxed ride suited to all ages and abilities.

Pick up a bike (or an e-bike) from Beechworth tour or hire service like Tour de Vines or The Bike Hire Company, and get set for adventure.

Plus, you can even arrange to get picked up from the other end.

Take a walk.

These crisp, clear autumn days are perfect for walking and hiking.

The Bright Canyon Walk is a popular 3km return walk along the picturesque Ovens River suiting all ages and abilities.

Or for a real treat, The Big Walk is an 11km, grade 3 hike from Porepunkah all the way up to the top of stunning Mt Buffalo.

Abundant seasonal produce.

Autumn produce is varied and plentiful. Visit local farmers markets and farm gates, or bring the family along for a pick-your-own berries or apples day.

There are few things as satisfying as the crunch of a Honeycrisp apple, just plucked from the tree.
