Bright With Kids - Where to Stay, Eat, Play & Places to Explore
If you are looking for a family destination that has a lot to offer then look no further than Bright in the Victorian High Country. This quaint little town has so much to offer for families with kids of all ages. From biking, fishing, hiking, camping, mountain biking and everything in between.
We've explored Bright for 7 days and it wasn't nearly enough time to explore it all.
Here are our recommendations for Bright:
🏕Where to stay:
Riverview Caravan Park - Porepunkah,
only 6km from Bright and budget friendly.
However, there are dozens of caravan parks and holiday parks to choose from. Most of them will have a playground, splash park or both.
🥨Where to eat:
The Star Hotel Bright - we recommend the fish & chips - absolutely delicious.
There is colouring in sheets and pencils for kids. After completing their “art work" they are allowed to stick it on the wall afterwards.
Beechworth Bakery
The Bright Ice Creamery
Bright Brewery - we loved their beer garden overlooking the Ovens River
HV Kitchen - Harrietville
The General - Hotham Heights
⚽️Where to play:
Bright Splash Park
On our last day in Bright, Matt fished the Ovens River, while the boys and I spent the day along the river and splash park.
📍Places to explore:
Beechworth
Harrietville
Mount Hotham & Hotham Heights
Mount Buffalo National Park
🥾What to do:
Hiking: Eurobin Falls, Cathedral and Hump Track, The Horn Lookout, Derrick Hut

這段歷史,讓這座小鎮成為全澳洲最有「歐洲秋天氛圍」的地方之一,每年秋天更是澳洲人最愛的公路旅行目的地之一!
雖然離墨爾本市區有點距離,但真的很值得花三天時間來走一趟!
這次我們選擇住在 BIG4 Tasman Holiday Parks 露營區,這是我第三次來這裡了!這裡最大的優點是:不想用公用衛浴的話,也可以選擇有自己浴室的營位;不想露營也有舒適的小木屋可以住!
而且營區對面就是熱門拍照景點,只要搜尋 Alpine Shire Council - Bright Customer Service Centre 就找得到!
Bright 賞楓地圖:
🍁 Delany Avenue:最經典的賞楓大道,兩側滿是高大的楓樹,像走進歐洲小鎮。
🍁 Bright Arboretum:有超過百種落葉樹,是私藏的拍照景點。
🍁 Ovens River Trail:沿著河岸一路色彩繽紛,特別是清晨有霧的時候,超夢幻。
🍁 主街 Gavan Street:街道兩旁種滿楓樹、橡樹和白蠟樹,四月下旬時紅、橙、黃交織,彷彿走進童話世界。
🍁 Centenary Park:沿著河岸走,有很多椅子與野餐區,是拍倒影的絕佳地點。
🍁 Howitt Park(Canyon Walk):影片中出現的仙境場景!兩側直挺的白楊樹,夢幻到不行!(影片最後會標出確切位置)

Rush hour at The Odd Frog
No stress, no noise… just a few locals crossing the road 🦘
Worth slowing down for.

Life update: I can ride a bike now! 🍁✨ We did a 14km trail through town with gorgeous autumn leaves, had hot chocolate, and finished off at a vineyard with a stunning view. I saw a kangaroo 🦘 chilling at someone’s backyard when the owner was grilling the barbecue, and some bright red poison mushrooms like these > 🍄🍂
📍 Bright, Victoria (just under 4 hours northeast of Melbourne)
