Town Centre The town centre of Bright stretches from the Great Alpine Road up to the war memorial tower at the roundabout in front of the Alpine Hotel, then continues south along the broad, tree-lined boulevard of Ireland Street. Here you will find a great selection of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops, including homewares, clothing, jewellery, antiques, op shops, bookstores, outdoor and adventure gear and bike shops. After exploring the town centre, we wandered down to the Bright Brewery. Bright Brewery The Bright Brewery is a fantastic family-owned brewery overlooking the Ovens River. It is open daily from 11.30 am and has a great range of locally brewed craft beers, a locally inspired brewpub menu, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Centenary Park Centenary Park is a lovely park close to the town centre on the Ovens River. It has Picnic shelters, BBQs, toilets, playgrounds and a walking path along the river. It is a popular spot for picnics, relaxing and swimming in the warmer months. You will also find the Bright Splash Park here on the edge of Morses Creek. The Splash Park incorporates elements of the region's mining heritage and the natural environment. Canyon Walk We walked along the river from Centenary Park to Howitt Park, which has some lovely street art on the Sibley Sound Shell. There is also a great mural of a platypus under the bridge. We then began the Canyon Walk along the Ovens River. The Canyon Walk is a relatively easy 3-kilometre circuit that meanders along the edge of the river, with interesting information boards about Bright’s Gold Mining History along the way. There are two swinging bridges along the track with wonderful views over the Ovens River. Porepunkah Porepunkah is a lovely little village 6 kilometres north of Bright on the junction of the Buckland and Ovens Rivers. We enjoyed wandering around the village centre, which has several cafes, the Punkah Pub and a lovely park along the river. 1.2 kilometres from the Porepunkah Town Centre along the Murray to Mountains rail trail is the Colour Bridge. This stunning installation was designed by Skunkcontrol and features a fun walkway of colourful flowers and butterflies. It's amazing to see on a sunny day as the sun rays shine through the flowers. Then we drove approximately 13 kilometres to the Red Stag Deer & Emu Farm. Red Stag Deer & Emu Farm The Red Stag Deer & Emu Farm is a 70-acre farm, and they are open daily from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. It also features a lovely restaurant, and we enjoyed a delicious Devonshire tea on the balcony with stunning alpine views in all directions. We then wandered around and saw the deer, emus, ostriches and other farm animals. Stony Creek Fish Farm The Stony Creek Fish Farm is located at the base of Mount Feathertop, approximately 20 kilometres from Bright towards Harrietville. They have a cafe and store stocking local produce, stunning gardens, and you can try your luck at catching a fish. The Stony Creek Fish Farm is open Friday to Monday from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. We enjoyed wandering around the beautiful gardens and had a lot of fun catching a couple of Brook trout for dinner. Harrietville Harrietville is a lovely little village at the base of Mount Hotham, approximately 24 kilometres from Bright. Pioneer Park is located in the centre of town on the banks of the Ovens River, and it has historical displays commemorating the village's gold mining history. Harrietville was established when gold was discovered in 1852. It soon became one of the region’s richest alluvial goldfields, attracting miners from across the world. Tronoh Dredge Hole The Tronoh Dredge Hole was created during large-scale gold dredging operations between 1942 and 1954. When operations ceased, this site gradually filled with water, forming the deep lake seen today.
