Whether you're basing yourself at The Hideout or setting up camp at Seeforth Station, you are sitting right on the doorstep of Victoria's best High Country heritage and wilderness.
Here are five of our favorite local ways to spend a day out in the valley:
🥾 The Howqua Hills Heritage Walk
Take the 1.5-hour return walk between Sheepyard Flat and Frys Flat. It's a gentle, scenic trail that winds along the river, loaded with High Country history and towering gums.
🎣 Flick a Line in the Howqua River
The Howqua is legendary for its wild trout. Bring your fly gear or pack a light spin rod to flick lures into the deeper, shaded river pools.
🛖 Explore Fry’s Hut
Built in the 1940s by Fred Fry, a true mountain legend, prospector, and stockman who even inspired Nevil Shute’s novel The Far Country. His hand-hewn timber hut still stands near Frys Flat and is well worth the visit.
🍺 Spend an Afternoon in Jamieson
Step back into gold rush history with a walk past Jamieson’s historic buildings, followed by a cold craft b**r and a relaxed feed on the deck at Jamieson Brewery & Grill overlooking the river valley.
🦌 High Country Hunting
Between 15 February and 15 December, deer hunters can access designated sections of the Alpine National Park and the Avon Wilderness for stalking (dogs not permitted).
Pack the boots, load the gear, and come explore our backyard.
