2025 Bright Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Bright has a population of about 2,000. It was a gold rush town in the 1850s and later became a quiet resort with tourism as its main industry. Every year in late April, the town is dyed with a layer of color by the autumn wind, as if entering a fairy tale world. During the Bright Autumn Festival, the town's gardens will be open to the public. Each garden has a different theme. During the ten-day weekend, the town center will be closed for a parade. There will be a large number of stalls, food and music around, to celebrate with the tourists who come to enjoy the maple leaves. #Attractions Photo Guide#Romantic Journey

#holidayitinerary Alpine National Park is the crown jewel of Victoria’s high country and deserves a prime spot on any #holidayitinerary. This park is home to Australia’s tallest peaks, including Mount Bogong and Mount Feathertop, making it perfect for hiking, skiing, and nature escapes all year round. In summer, wildflower meadows burst into color, and hiking trails like the Razorback Ridge provide unforgettable alpine views. In winter, Mount Hotham and Falls Creek transform into snowy playgrounds for skiers and snowboarders. Rivers, valleys, and forests complete the stunning variety of landscapes here. Wildlife is abundant too, with wombats, wallabies, and vibrant birdlife spotted along the way. Alpine National Park is where adventure meets tranquility, offering breathtaking scenery in every season.

The colors of this season are stunning, with coordinated leaf colors lighting up the Alpine valleys, a stunning visual reminder that nature is still alive and well in this part of the world. 5 reasons to visit Bright in autumn: Autumn colours The colours that mark the arrival of autumn sweep across the Alpine Valley, from Wangaratta all the way up the mountains to Beechworth and Bright. The colors start changing in April and continue through May and into winter. Smaller Crowds As the weather cools and the Easter holiday comes to an end, the holiday crowds slowly dissipate. May is still a very busy time in the area, but it doesn’t seem to have the same overwhelming crowds as the warmer months of March and April. Summers in northeast Victoria can be very hot. Fall is pretty much perfect as far as weather is concerned. Although the weather will change with gradually cooler weather, the bright sunshine is amazing. Small town accommodation During the summer peak season, the best accommodations are often booked up 12 months in advance. Finding the right place to stay in this small town can be difficult. Postponing your trip until the fall means more options for where to stay. Rich autumn activities Bright and the surrounding area always have a busy calendar of activities.

#australiatrip Treasure Boutique Autumn Town discovered by my good friend Anli! The small town is surrounded by colorful trees and is known as a "fairy tale town". Walking freely on the road, you can be attracted by the ginkgo and maple leaves on both sides! 2024 Brett Autumn Festival Time: April 26-5.5 (Market, Street Concert, May 4th Day Tour Brett One Bright Tour)

No place better than Bright to enjoy Victorian autumn colour. If accommodations are too expensive you can stay at Albury or Wodonga which is about an hour away.

#australiatrip Absolutely gorgeous views! A lot of cars just whip past this lookout, but it’s 100% worth stopping! You get a panoramic view of the surrounding alpine region, including The Horn (Mount Buffalo) and The Cathedrals. Just bring a jacket, as it’s always windy here (even in summer) What a beautiful scenic drive on my way back from Melbourne to Shepparton through Great Alpine Road. Stopped at Danny's Lookout point and amazing mountain views.
