24.01.2022 Happy Melbourne Cup day! Before you look at the photo credit, can you tell us where this very special 'entry' is in Bright & Surrounds? . .... . . Image thanks to Instagram photographer @nugnugparklogcabin See more

24.01.2022 To say that 2020 wasn’t ideal is an understatement. It will be the year we look back at with many emotions. We can be grateful the valleys of Bright and Surrounds remain unchanged, still stunning, inspiring, and uplifting. Bring on 2021, because we are ready for more adventures and to continue a life lived outside. Image thanks to local photographer John Hensridge #brightandsurrounds

23.01.2022 Have you ever swam in Rollason Falls? Its breathtaking, literally, even in the middle of Summer the water is cold. Hats off to you Stan and thanks for bringing more adventure to our lockdown. Please note, this video was filmed earlier in the week before Mount Buffalo National Park was closed to the public. I wonder where Stan will take us this week? ... Video thanks to Instagram creator @stanmeissner, currently sharing a COVID lockdown adventure everyday.

23.01.2022 Take 2 minutes to escape with us Dear Karen, We just wanted to send you a postcard of one of our favourite trails in Bright, the Canyon Walk. Listening to the water is so calming as you wonder along the trail, it makes all the little things melt away. We know of many locals and visitors that choose this walk for that very reason. ... Take care and stay safe, Bright & Surrounds PS We thought it would be fun to hide some of our favourite things in our postcard, can you find all of them? A hiker in a blue jacket, a picnic basket and bottle of local wine, skis and poles, a camera, a mountain bike and an esky on a picnic blanket.

22.01.2022 What better way to recharge your batteries than some time alone or as Stan does, an adventure alone. Some quiet time on the Kiewa River would calm and invigorate anyone (just don’t forget your fishing rod!). See you next Monday at 7pm, for the final episode before Stan has a bit of a break, don’t miss it. #stansweeklyadventures #brightandsurrounds ... @stanmeissner See more

22.01.2022 This is a lovely story of a beautiful walk that was embraced and bombed by two local artists. The Crackpots have created an arts walk along the Ovens River Trail. This walk is suitable for all ages and abilities with well-made paths for ease of accessibility. An ever evolving landscape with new mosaics to find, kids (and adults) love the mystery and challenge whilst enjoying the walk along the river. The Crackpots have also created brochures, activities booklets and website, driven purely by their passion to give back to their town. You can find out more at the Myrtleford Information Centre, visitmyrtlefordvic.com.au or myrtlefordmosaictrail.com.au

22.01.2022 We have had a bit of a theme of hide-and-seek in our moving postcards but Stan has taken it to a new level as well as to all your favourite locations around Bright. Hit play and let the good memories come flooding back from your last visit. We bet you will have to watch it more than once to find him. Thanks Stan for making us smile, if you want to see more lockdown adventures you will find them on Instagram @stanmeissner ... #brightandsurrounds #covidlockdownadventure See more

21.01.2022 Weve made a commercial to remind you how stunning our region is....Go on, spend some time in Bright & Surrounds.

21.01.2022 Another lovely sunset in Porepunkah. Snow is a little scarce this winter but the sunsets have been amazing. In saying that, dont forget Dinner Plain is open, free and madly making snow for a beautiful weekend of tobogganing. If you live in regional Victoria, be grateful and make the most of your backyard. Image thanks to Instagram photographer @shotbynathan

19.01.2022 We're heading to the Harrietville Dredge Hole to chill out. What are you up to? #harrietville Image thanks to Instagram photographer @doubledeeezz

18.01.2022 Our townships are twinkling with the lights of Christmas. Fingers crossed we have been good enough to have a very special visitor call by tonight. #brightandsurrounds Images thanks to Image Writer

18.01.2022 This image was taken mid-October on the Murray to Mountain Rail Trail as you enter Bright. The purple flowers have been replaced by a canopy of green foliage. It's such a pretty section of the trail. Image thank to John Henstridge

18.01.2022 Hello Saturday! It's going to be warm, so find your space by the river with a good book and relax. Image thanks to Instagram photographer @jaminappleford taken in Myrtleford.

17.01.2022 The combination of warm weather, spring blossoms and green valleys are definitely good for the soul. #mtbeauty Image thanks to Instagram photographer @mtbeautytransfers

17.01.2022 After so many months being cooped up, camping is the perfect way to shake it off. It doesn’t matter if you enjoy the outdoors in a swag, luxury caravan or something in between, it’s time to dust it off and book a site.

17.01.2022 Autumn is here and the change of season is welcomed, not only for the colourful trees but the fog in the valleys. Image thanks to Bright Mystic Valley

17.01.2022 Take 2 minutes to escape with us So great to see our towns buzzing again, people getting out and about on their new bikes, walking along the rivers and exploring our National Parks. We wanted to share our postcard of The Cathedral on Mount Buffalo as its one of the most beautiful places in the world. This rock formation gives a feeling of peace and stillness. Enjoy!

15.01.2022 As the sunsets on another weekend we are grateful for all our visitors who have come back and shown their support in our region. Thank you for showing kindness, patience and respecting one another as we find our new way.

15.01.2022 Take 2 minutes to escape with us Dear Aunty Suzy and Uncle Dave, We wanted to send you a postcard from your favourite place in the world, Mount Beauty. Thanks for showing us the lovely walks around Mountain Creek and for the suggestion to pick up some tasty local produce for a picnic. It was so calm and relaxing by the river, I wish we didnt have to go home. Missing you guys, Bright & Surrounds... PS We thought it would be fun to hide some of our favourite things in our postcard, can you find all of them? A hiker in a blue jacket, a picnic basket and bottle of local wine, skis and poles, a camera, a mountain bike and an esky on a picnic blanket.

15.01.2022 Iconic tobacco kilns can be found dotted throughout the countryside in north-east Victoria but are especially prominent around Myrtleford. These modern kilns were first introduced to dry the tobacco in Gapsted in 1917. Image thanks to Instagram photographer @evan__b__

14.01.2022 The tranquility of Lake Catani on Mount Buffalo. Image thanks to Instagram photographer @ainsleegreenfield

13.01.2022 Its Saturday and we have the perfect video to send you smiling into the weekend. Thanks to @stanmeissner, one of your most viewed adventures to date!

13.01.2022 We have had a stunning weekend. Nice to see so many Melbournians out and about, enjoying a well-earned break from their homes. This week, Stan was up early to take us trail running up into the hills surrounding Bright. If this doesn’t make you want to run, nothing will! Fun fact; did you know the pine plantations in Bright and Surrounds are active. We are so grateful the land owners, HVP allow us to use their roads to create adventures like this. In order to keep ever...yone safe when entering the working plantation HVP ask any users to complete an application for a ‘Human Power Pass’, which is valid for two years. It only takes 4 minutes and gives you the knowledge you need to enter the plantations safely. https://www.hvp.com.au//community-events/human-power-pass/ Don’t forget to join us next Monday at 7pm to see what Stan gets up to this week. #stansweeklyadventures #brightandsurrounds @stanmeissner

13.01.2022 Today we are admiring the views at Lake Buffalo, looking at the western face of Mount Buffalo. Image thanks to Intagram photographer @elanasantopietrophotography

11.01.2022 Do you have memories as a kid, flying through the air on a toboggan? That feeling that you launched so high off that last bump you near touched the trees. Now you can do it all again on the longest toboggan run in Australia at Dinner Plain. Image thanks to @_free_spirit_photography_, taken earlier this year.

11.01.2022 Lock down is tough, especially for our many friends and family in Melbourne with Stage 4 restrictions. To brighten your day we wanted to introduce Stan, one of our locals that is tackling regional lock downs with optimism and enthusiasm. Everyday Stan sets himself a COVID lockdown adventure. Some days he is out and about in our beautiful region, other days he is finding adventures in his own back yard (like urban caving under his house). Keep an eye out every Wednesday as we post one of his videos from the week or follow him on Instagram @stanmeissner to see them all. Today we are stepping back a few days, to Day one of the COVID lockdown adventures, to let Stan introduce himself....

11.01.2022 This week Stan spends his day with a couple of mates who live, work and play on bikes. Time to explore one of the best ‘gravel rides’ in the region, up Mount Porepunkah. Never heard of ‘gravel riding’? Watch and be inspired. Beyond gravel riding, Stan also took advantage of an invitation to learn about a fire management tool not widely known about. This is the final episode before Stan takes off on a massive adventure beyond our region. Don’t worry, he’ll be back with ...more local fun in May. #stansweeklyadventures #brightandsurrounds To keep up with Stan’s adventure in Tasmania, follow him on Instagram @stanmeissner See more

10.01.2022 Wow, what a weekend! Great to see so many people supporting our region. For those planning on visiting anytime in the next couple of months, a little reminder to book ahead, especially for restaurants and cafes.

This week, Stan is showing off the perfect picnic location that offers a smidge of adventure along the way.... introducing the Mount Beauty Gorge walk and Sarah. Don’t forget to join ...us next Monday at 7pm to see what Stan gets up to this week. #stansweeklyadventures #brightandsurrounds @stanmeissner

10.01.2022 Ever wonder how Stan films his adventures? Is it all smooth sailing and one take fun? Maybe not, but I think hes still loving life and every little adventure. Thanks to @stanmeissner for your inspiration to see life as adventure and to your Instagram crew that help hold the camera occasionally @handcutfilms, @alexontheriver, @braddlesofficial and @rowan.blakers

10.01.2022 Earlier in the week this image was taken, when the weather was grand, and people could move around freely. We will get back to that space again but in the meantime please play by the rules, respect each other and be kind. Melbournians and interstate visitors, we cant express how much we will miss you. We will wait patiently and look forward to welcoming you back again.
