Looks like Darker Days is just around the corner! 🍻
If you’ve been thinking of making a weekend of it, we still have a couple of rooms available here at the Bright Colonial. We’d hate for you to miss out, so if Bright is calling your name it might be worth booking sooner rather than later… ❄️ 🍺

We are so excited with Mt Buffalo reopening to visitors. Spring is the perfect time to visit Mt Buffalo, and Bright, with sunny days and cool nights, beautiful wildflowers, and gorgeous waterfalls. We can't wait to see you back in our region.

Good news from our friends at Parks Victoria... Mount Buffalo National Park has partially reopened to visitors. 💙

Most of the key visitor sites along the main road are reopening. However a few of the more remote walking tracks and the two remote campsites remain closed.

Victoria Police will continue to be present on the mountain with regular patrols. Parks Vic are comfortable that the work they have done means this loved National Park is now safe to open.

For further detail about open and closed areas, please refer to: https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/news/2025/10/06/22/16/mt-buffalo-national-park-reopens

With low overnight temperatures and heavy frosts, winter is definitely here.

The cold starts have the snow guns firing at both Mt Hotham and Falls Creek, and with 3 lifts spinning at each resort, it’s the perfect time for beginners to avoid the crowds and visit the mountains.
