Guide

All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leader or local representative. The aim of the group leader or local representative is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced group leader or local representative however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your group leader or local representative is new to a particular region or training other group leader or local representative. Your group leader or local representative will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your group leader or local representative can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

Itinerary of your trip Walk Victoria’S High Country

  • Day 1 Day 1: Melbourne / Mt Buffalo National Park / Bright
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Melbourne / Mt Buffalo National Park / Bright

      Your adventure begins in Melbourne (Narrm in the language of the Wurundjeri people, who are the traditional owners of the land on which Melbourne is now located). You’ll meet your group early this morning at 8am and then sit back and relax on the drive to Euroa where we will enjoy morning tea before continuing to Mount Buffalo National Park. With sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and sweeping views, this alpine wonderland will dazzle you with its natural beauty. After exploring some of the lower walks in the national park, we’ll get settled into our home away from home for the next four nights in Bright, on the traditional lands of the Dhudhuroa, Taungurung, Waywurru, Gunaikurnai and Jaithmathang peoples. A picturesque town on the scenic Great Alpine Road, Bright is the perfect launching pad to explore some of the region’s best walking tracks.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Mt Buffalo National Park / Bright
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Mt Buffalo National Park / Bright

      Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your cosy guest house, where the atmosphere is as warm as your comfy bed each night. This morning, drive back to Mt Buffalo National Park, the traditional lands of the Taungurung peoples, to take on ‘The Big Walk’. This spectacular trek to the top of the Buffalo Plateau climbs through tall forests and granite slopes. And as the altitude increase, so too does the scenery, with sweeping views of the Australian Alps. Finish the walk at The Gorge, perched atop a 300-meter sheer cliff with incredible panoramic views over the Alps. After the walk, kick back as we drive around the top of Mount Buffalo and marvel at the incredible granite formations that rise from the plateau below. There’s plenty of wildlife that call Mount Buffalo home, so keep your eyes peeled for Lyrebirds, Eastern Rosellas, Wombats and Swamp Wallabies. After a big day of exploring the national park, head back to your cosy guesthouse for dinner with your group.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Falls Creek / Bogong High Plains / Bright
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Falls Creek / Bogong High Plains / Bright

      After breakfast, you’ll enjoy a slightly easier hike in the alpine meadows of the Bogong High Plains to the summit of Mount Nelse where you’ll admire the surrounding views. Follow parts of the 650km Australian Alpine Walking Track, on the traditional lands of the Taungurung & Gunaikurnai peoples, that winds along ridges and plains in the high country of Victoria and New South Wales. Plus, visit one of the famous mountain huts of the Victorian high country. Many of these huts, dotted across the high country, were built in the 1800’s and form part of the region’s heritage.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Alpine National Park / Bright
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Alpine National Park / Bright

      Today it’s time for the walk everyone has been waiting for – one of the most iconic walks in Victoria, the Razorback Ridge. Mount Feathertop is the second-highest mountain in Victoria, nearly two kilometres high and usually covered in snow from June to September. After a short drive, we’ll commence our hike via the Razorback Walk, one of Victoria’s most famous and rewarding walks, which leads to ‘The Cross’ where we’ll stop for a well-deserved lunch. From here, you can choose to walk the steep summit of Mount Feathertop where the views stretch on forever. Regardless of whether you continue to the top, you’ll enjoy some of the best views, from one of the best day walks in Australia today. Tonight, swap travel stories with your fellow group members as you enjoy your final dinner together at a beautiful local spot.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Bright / Melbourne
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Bright / Melbourne

      After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning in town or lace up your hiking boots one last time and explore the Canyon Walk. Keep an eye out for birds and wildflowers as you enjoy views of the small canyon carved by the Ovens River and see water races dug by the region’s early miners. If you’ve done enough walking for one week, you might like to simply soak up the quaint town atmosphere and let life pass you by from a local café or artisan boutique. Then, we’ll make our way back to Melbourne, where our walking adventure comes to an end.
