Visit Mt Beauty
A 30km scenic drive from Bright, the hub of the beautiful Kiewa Valley is surrounded by the Alpine National Park and offers an easy gateway to the State's highest peaks.
Mount Beauty was originally built by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria to house workers employed on the Kiewa Hydro Electric
Scheme. Developed over 26 years and completed in the 1960s the scheme at its peak employed more than 4000 people Falls Creek, Australia's premier snow resort and renowned warm season bushwalking destination, is just 30km away making Mount Beauty a perfect base for family holidays and lovers of outdoor activities of all kinds including:
• A number of excellent, scenic walking trails dotted with lovely picnic
places such as the 4km, one hour Mount Beauty River Walk which offers a tempting swimming hole to plunge into on a hot day.
• For the fit and fearless, the downhill tracks at the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park
• In the heart of the town, the Mount Beauty Pondage is part of the
Kiewa Hydro-electric Scheme used to regulate flows into the Kiewa
River. It is a haven for recreational fisherfolk and boaters

• And for something completely different, the magic of gliding on a
scenic flight at the Mount Beauty Airpark.

There's no one home! Frenchmans Cap Hike. Tasmanian Adventure.
It was a long weekend so I went and checked out the Frenchman's cap track, down the South West of Tasmania. I was totally blown away by the beauty on this Adventure.
The Best Day Hike in Australia - Clarke Gorge Walk - Kosciuszko National Park
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful hikes in Australia. Clarke Gorge Walk is a 5km return track which follows Cave Creek downstream through the gorge until you reach Cooleman Falls (Otherwise known as Cave Creek Falls)
This is a grade 5 track and involves multiple water crossings. At least 10 from memory! We went in January so the water, while still cold was extremely inviting to cool off. In case you're wondering, yes the water really is this blue! It is caused by the stunning limestone formations.

LAWN HILL NATIONAL PARK it's EPIC ... You MUST VISIT// Adels Grove // Mt Isa Rodeo 2019
*** If your caravanning in Australia be prepared for corrugated roads, cause Australia has plenty of them. An if your planning on heading to Adels Grove you will experience them first hand like we did. Not to worry Lawn Hill National Park is well worth the drive, and we would do it all over an over again to experience the beauty of this place***
Ep 7 - After 50k's of rough patchy corrugated roads, we finally arrived @ Adels Grove camping ground, situated only a short drive from Lawn Hill National Park. Lena at first wasn't overly impressed with Adels Grove camp grounds as I had sold her on the idea of a lush and picturesque surround only for us to pull up in a dust bowl of a campground.
However, Lena's tune soon changed when she discovered the beauty of Lawn Hill Gorge and Adels Grove camp grounds
After the dirt road from Gregory to Lawn Hill, we found the van was schmick inside, no dust in sight thanks to our dust proofing of the caravan, but that changed as soon as the first car drove through camp and we had the windows open.
After a good nights sleep back at Adels Grove camp, we ambitiously set the alarms for a pre-sunrise wake-up. Upon hitting snooze for the eighth time in a row and throwing the phone at the wall, we eventually got out of bed, had a quick bowl of cereal and punched it over to Lawn Hill Gorge. We were greeted with an amazing golden hour which made for some spectacular photos and drone footage.
We explored the South Western side of the walking trails all the way down to the Upper Gorge Lookout. After a decent rocky hike, you find yourself gazing back up towards the Island Stack and the aqua water in the gorge below. It definitely is worth the effort if you are chasing a peaceful morning.
The water was a beautiful temperature We could have stayed swimming for hours, but we had tracks to make south to Mt Isa as we had tickets for the 60th Anniversary of the famous Mt Isa Rodeo.
