Bright Holiday Park, Alpine way, Victoria. Think we should keep it a secret!

A cold Sauv Blanc and a cool Alpine brook
Keep it to yourself
It's all like this
'Adventure has a new name' - Roy hums Indiana Jones every time we cross the park's suspension bridge to town  

The Silvery Nomad - dreaming in the shade
A suspension of disbelief in camping parks

It's so rare that we discover a park that ticks ALL the boxes for us.
Bright Holiday Park does.
It's a delight - idyllic, shady, quiet, with pleasant and helpful staff.
A pure Alpine stream winds through the park, graced by a charming suspension bridge - cross over and you're virtually in the middle of the village of Bright with its cafes, restaurants and shops.
 Bright Holiday Park goes right up there on our 'favourites' list.

Forget 'Underbelly' - Aussie town with a reputation built on crime

Notorious Ned Kelly held us up for a while

Glenrowan - crime capital? Also serves a great breakfast

Port Fairy, after the Gt Ocean Road, Victoria
Volcanic Blue Lake, Mt Gambier, S.Australia, and the town's water supply

 Turns an odd blue in November - the Lake that is, although Roy was also pretty cold
