overing in the horizon
over the quiet town,
Mount Buffalo stands
shrouded in the misty fog
of the evening. A quick pivot around
showed glimpses of the alpine
outlines of Mount Feathertop and
Mount Bogong. Bright sits snug

alpine scenery.
It was 8pm, and I was famished.
Invigorated by the fresh alpine air, I

to Bright, a quiet and unassuming
town in north-eastern Victoria.
Bright is close to the Victorian Alps,
and has several national parks that
offer big adventure experiences for
those who wander into their midst.
Mount Buffalo National Park is one
of them; cycling enthusiasts have
headed into its domain for
spectacular scenic trails.WORDS ESTHER FAITH LIEW O PHOTOGRAPHS ESTHER FAITH LIEW
