⇒ Try the Bright Brewery, a family-owned and operated craft brewery located in the heart of the town for good beer, wine, and burgers.
⇒ Visit Lake Hume - camping, swimming, fishing, waterskiing, or boating. Walk along the top and enjoy lush and sparkling views of the reservoir and the outline of the Alpine Region’s summits.
⇒ Enjoy canoeing or kayaking along the tranquil Murray River.
⇒ Experience the Wonga Wetlands and its fabulous lagoons and billabongs. It is home to multiple bird species and centuries-old red gums and scar trees. Winter is the best time to visit whilst it is bustling with pelicans and swans - so it’s a great time for your locum!
