Tour description
Experience one of Australia’s most enchanting seasonal displays on this beautifully paced journey to the Victorian High Country for the Bright Autumn Festival. Set against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks and rolling valleys, the region bursts into brilliant colour each autumn, with tree-lined streets, riverside parks and historic villages glowing in rich reds, golds and amber. With four nights based at the welcoming Bright Colonial Motel, there is ample time to explore the area’s unique blend of natural beauty, Gold Rush history and warm country hospitality. From heritage towns to scenic lookouts, each day brings a new place to discover.
Our journey to Bright includes a night in Wagga Wagga, allowing time to enjoy its gardens, heritage sites and vibrant regional character. The return journey is equally spectacular, travelling the Alpine Way through Kosciuszko National Park and the Upper Murray region, passing Khancoban, Tom Groggin Station and Dead Horse Gap before settling in for the night in lakeside Jindabyne. With visits to charming towns like Beechworth, Myrtleford and Yackandandah, as well as national parks, orchards and historic sites, this tour captures the very best of autumn in country Australia — colourful landscapes, memorable touring, and thoughtful inclusions every step of the way.

Testimonials
Dear On Course Tours Thank you so much for the wonderful 3 day trip to Oberon. It was great to go to Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens and “Bebeah” at Mt Wilson on the first day. Mayfield Gardens (the full gardens) did not disappoint and the weather was so kind to us. The rhododendrons and the crab apples were certainly on display for us. Jimmy did a great job looking after us all. The accommodation was great as well all the good food! Going to Everglades on the day we came home was an added bonus and some time in Leura was great as well. I was even home in time to plant out a replacement Daphne that I had got. l am now looking forward to the Yamba and Grafton trip – here’s hoping the weather will be kind to us. I would love next year’s program when it has been completed. I hear it is nearly finished.
Yours sincerely, RP
