SPRING IN BRIGHT

Garden and festival time.

Experience a tapestry of colour in Spring.  Spend days relaxing amongst sunny local gardens, planted with brightly coloured spring bulbs and flowers shaded by age-old elm trees.  Explore the high plains, where you’ll find carpets of alpine wildflowers, mountain streams, native birds and other fauna.

Nearby, there are extensive walking tracks, bike trails and picnic grounds, set amidst snow-melt streams and waterfalls.  Try trout fishing or take a tour of the local wineries.  For fine dining, check out the local cafés and restaurants.

Twilight brings out the native wildlife in Bright.  Don’t be surprised if you find yourself meeting up with friendly kangaroos and possums.

 AUTUMN IN BRIGHT

Festival time

Bright is never more beautiful than it is in autumn. Golden elms line Cobden Street, and can be viewed in all their glory through the north-facing lounge room window of  Art Deco  style Eugenie Cottage.

Take a walk through groves of chestnuts, poplars, maples and liquid ambers.  In autumn, these come out in a stunning display of gold, orange and red.  Days are typically mild and sunny, followed by crisp, clear nights best spent in front of the fire.

There’s always plenty to do.  Check out the Autumn Festival Gala Parade, with market stalls and music, breweries, wineries and events at the local nut and fruit orchards.

A great base for your next Snow Skiing holiday, Bright is perfectly situated for fun in the snow:

 WEATHER FOR NORTH EASTERN VICTORIA

The inland climate of north east Victoria has hot summer days with cool temperatures at night. In winter, bright sunny days follow crisp, white frosty mornings. Rainfall can be very localized in the valleys, falling as snow in winter on the alps. Generally, there is very little wind and the climate is more consistent and stable than in southern Victoria.

Temperatures in the High Country mountains surrounding Bright can be up to ten degrees cooler than in the valleys below. Many of the weather fronts that bring change to Victoria, do not reach north over the Great Divide, resulting in a consistent and stable climate with a high number of bright sunny days throughout the year.
