Bright, BIKING Mt Buller, Falls Creek, Mount Beauty, Dinner Plain, Beechworth, Yackandandah, Mansfield and loads more; each and every one of this cluster of bike friendly towns is a mountain biker’s paradise in its own right, but when you bundle them up together in a road trip, you’ve got something truly incredible. What makes the north east of Victoria really stand out is the quality and diversity of experiences on ofer; whatever your skill level, whatever flavour of mountain biking you like, you’ll find it here. Craft yourself an itinerary that suits your style, or just go all-in with a region-wide road trip, hitting whatever bit of trail you find yourself pointed towards. As you hop from town to town, you’ll discover everything from all day backcountry epics, through to gnarly downhill runs, to mellow cross-country riding. Literally, the entire spectrum of mountain biking is there to be sampled. You’ll meet seriously passionate communities of mountain bikers too, all supported by some of the best mountain bike infrastructure in the country. Top quality bike shops are everywhere to keep you rolling. There are local shuttle operators if you’re not keen on the pedal up, the trails are signposted and mapped across the whole region so you’re never wasting time lost in the bush and there’s bike friendly accommodation aplenty. Oh, and the breweries are nearly all run by folk who mountain bike too, so they understand how important rehydration is for your mountain bike road trip. ridehighcountry.com.au • 7 OUR MUST-RIDES FALLS CREEK, SUMMIT TO FLOWTOWN From the stunning peak of Falls Creek, way above the tree line, kick of this epic downhill by barreling straight into the rocks and twisted snow gums of High Voltage. The berms and chunky granite of Wishing Well connect you through to Falls Creek’s newest monster descent: Flowtown. This insanely cool roller- coaster just keeps on giving, picking up speed as you carve towards the gates of the village, where you pop out to meet the shuttle trailer waiting to take you up top again. MT BULLER, VILLAGE TO MIRIMBAH VIA DELATITE RIVER TRAIL With over 1000m of vertical, blitzed at face-warping speed, this descent is what big mountains are all about! Beginning with a mellow run out of the village down the flowing Gang Gangs, this ride lifts its intensity in a big way once you turn down the Delatite River Trail. Get ready to hit the kinds of speeds that normally require an engine as you charge down some of the fastest fire-roads out there, picking your line through shaken eyeballs and launching waterbars like an astronaut. Things mellow out as you reach the iconic log bridges across the river; a perfect wind down before rolling into the pretty parklands of Mirimbah where cofee and cake awaits. BRIGHT, HERO TRAIL The first trail of this kind on this scale in Australia, the new Hero Trail at Bright is revolutionary for the Australian scene. It’s a proper, gravity-fed jump trail, and you clock some serious air miles on this one! You can pedal to the top of Mt Mystic on a perfectly built climbing trail, or shuttle up too if you want to keep the legs fresh. There are some whopping jumps on this one, so we recommend a sighting run first. But once you’ve got it dialed in, your mind will be blown as you literally fly down the hill all the way back to the Bright Brewery by the river below.

  • Campbells Muscats and Topaques of Rutherglen
    Campbells Muscats and Topaques of Rutherglen CAMPBELLS WINES RUTHERGLEN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA The Campbell Family Scotsman John Campbell established the vineyard in 1870. Today, the vineyards and winery are operated by fourth generation viticulturist Malcolm Campbell and his brother Colin, the winemaker. They have been joined by the fifth generation who are adding their skills to all facets of the family operations. With five generations and over 140 years of family winemaking, the Campbells have forged a reputation as a benchmark Rutherglen winery and one of the leading wineries of North Eastern Victoria, Australia. Location Campbells vineyards and winery are located in the historic Rutherglen Wine Region of North Eastern Victoria, Australia. The wines Campbells is renowned for crisp whites and full bodied red table wines that reflect the characters of the Rutherglen Wine Region. Campbells also produce the luscious Rutherglen Muscats and Rutherglen Topaques which are considered to be amongst the world’s richest wines. They are unique wines of the world being a combination of climate, soil, grape variety, generations of experience and the old stocks reserved by generations past. The Rutherglen Wine Region Rutherglen’s warm and dependable climate is in many ways similar to the Rhone region in France and hence the varieties Shiraz and Durif (Petite Sirah) prosper there. Reliably warm and dry autumn weather allows the grapes to slowly and fully ripen producing true varietal flavours. It also means that the Rutherglen Muscat and Topaque grapes can be confidently left to hang on the vine to develop the flavour and high natural sugar levels required to produce the world’s richest wines.

  • Spring Tasting Notes
    THE BROTHERS SHIRAZ 2013 Great wine does take time and this is certainly true of The Brothers Shiraz. Tended by hand from vine to bottle, this is the pinnacle of our endeavours and is the ultimate expression of Rutherglen Shiraz. - Colin Campbell COLOUR Dense red/black, beginning to show some age. BOUQUET A lifted and complex nose comprised of plum fruit, oak char and black pepper notes. PALATE Full bodied with complex layers of ripe plum and blackberries. Carefully selected oak adds a touch of earth and spice with dry, grippy tannins providing great poise and balance. A big wine from a great vintage. CELLARING AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS Our 2013 The Brothers Shiraz has undergone extended maturation in both barrel and bottle for three years prior to release. This time has allowed the fruit, oak and tannins to fully integrate and deliver a truly memorable Rutherglen Shiraz. Whilst approachable now, this complex and structured wine will reward those with the patience to cellar to 2020 and beyond. Try alongside a tender rib eye steak with green peppercorn sauce. DATE TASTED June 2020 THE GRAPES Shiraz from our Rutherglen vineyard. WINEMAKING After fermentation for five days using closed fermenters, the wine was aged in new American and French oak puncheons for a period of 2 years. TECHNICAL DETAILS Alc 14.5% T.A. 6.5g/l pH 3.51 THE SIXTIES BLOCK 2015 First planted by my brother Malcolm in the early 1960’s, our Sixties Block contains a single row of many obscure and interesting grape varieties. Today this mature vineyard produces small quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, from which we select the very best for this intriguing field blend.

In Victoria’s High Country, ‘the good life’ is no mere cliché... it’s just the way life’s lived.

Almost anything grows and thrives here. Berries, cherries, apples and pears, nuts, olives and honey, citrus, stone fruit, asparagus and safron. Prime beef, fat lambs and organic pork are raised on lush pastures and rich cheeses and butters are hand crafted from the milk of locally raised dairy goats and cows. Even the hops that favour the famous local ales made around the region are grown here.
