Itinerary 8 – Hanging with friends
Day 1
6.00am — Yoga
Morning yoga is one of the best ways to start the day, so sweat out the bad stuff with one of Bright’s local instructors.
8.30am — Conscious Breakfast
You’ve earned that chai latte. Head into town and thank your inner spirit at one of Bright’s many superb cafes.
9.30am — Boutique Stores
From homewares and books to clothing, jewellery or adventure gear, shopping in Bright has everyone covered.
12.00pm — Lunch by the River
Time to take a breather and head to one of our riverside venues for lunch. Take a seat and relax to the sound of the Ovens River.
1.30pm — Huggins Lookout
This walk is only 1.4km return, but enough to get your heart pumping. Best of all, the views over Bright are just beautiful.
3.30pm — Day Spa
Time to spoil yourself with a treatment at one of the day spas or beauty salons.
6.00pm — Dinner Out
From fine dining, funky bars, cultural feasts or pub fare, you’ll find something to satisfy every appetite.
7.30pm — Kick On
The night is still young, so grab your gang and hit up Bright’s bars, gin distillery, brewery and
cocktail lounges.
Day 2
8.00am — Breakfast Time
OK sleepyheads, how was last night? Time for breakfast!
9.00am — Alpine Adventure
Drive Australia’s highest road to Mount Hotham for some skiing or snowboarding, or Dinner Plain for snowshoeing or tobogganing. In summer, stop at the stunning lookouts and take a hike out to Mount Loch or The Razorback.
1.00pm — Lunch in DP
Fill up at the pub or cafe in Dinner Plain.
2.00pm — Sled Dog Rides or MTB
That’s right – we said sled dogs! These furry friends run all winter. In summer, hire bikes and hit up the Dinner Plain Mountain Bike Park or the sealed Brabralung Trail.
3.30pm — Soak in an Onsen in the Snow
In winter, grab your friends and chill out in a steaming hot outdoor Onsen surrounded by snow. In summer, take the short walk down to see Carmichael Falls, just 1km from the village centre.
6.30pm — Dinner Out
Enjoy the sunset views as you head back down the mountain to Bright or Harrietville for dinner. You’ll be famished, so grab a pizza or some traditional pub grub at the local, or try one of the trendy new eateries in Bright.
8.00pm — Local Brews
The day’s not over yet. Finish up with a gin at the local distillery, a cocktail from one of our bars, or a craft beer at the brewery in Bright.
