HIGHLIGHTS
LAKE EILDON
Lake Eildon boasts over 500km of shoreline and at full capacity can store six times as much water as Sydney Harbour! Whether you’re into water sports, boating, fishing, kayaking or just after the perfect insta-worthy snapshot of a crystal-clear lake, this little beauty offers it up in spades. A favourite haunt for locals and visitors, Lake Eildon is the perfect place to plan your escape year-round.
RUBICON VALLEY HISTORIC AREA
If you are looking for the perfect setting to pitch your tent, then look no further than Rubicon Valley. This historic area is home to natural waterfalls, scenic campsites, hiking trails and is a popular haven for native birdlife. Steeped in history, the beautiful Rubicon River serves up a series of spectacular trestle bridges set amongst remnants of the timber industry.
SNOBS CREEK FALLS
You would be forgiven for thinking that Snobs Creek Falls is only for the elite, as this aptly named gem of a waterfall is only for those who can truly appreciate this well regarded, superior natural wonder, boasting a 100m drop and putting other competing natural waterways to shame. It comes with its own spectacular viewing platform that is fixed to a steep rock face on the side of the falls, jutting out in front of the cascading water.
EAT & DRINK

Their approach to brewing is simple; make great craft beer inspired by the beauty of the local landscape.
Each of their beers are made with an emphasis on quality. And no matter whether you’re taking a dip in Lake Eildon on a summer afternoon, chasing that elusive trout on the mighty Goulburn river, or simply relaxing in front of the campfire as the sun goes down, we have a beer for you!
