Tallangatta to Old Tallangatta Stroll

The High Country Rail Trail runs 80 kilometres from Wodonga to Shelley. The heart of the trail is the section from Tallangatta to Old Tallangatta, which is six kilometres one way. Tallangatta is recognised by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) as one of two Notable Towns. In 1956 the town was relocated to higher ground to make way for the expansion of Lake Hume. What had been a typical late Victorian town was transformed into one with distinctive 1950s character. More than one hundred buildings were relocated, while others, including the civic and commercial buildings, were redesigned in the 1950s style of restrained modernism. Remnants of Old Tallangatta can still be seen when Lake Hume is low. Several buildings, including the historic butter factory and northern suburb homes, remained outside the flood zone. This section of the trail is accessible for wheelchairs, prams and bikes, making it suitable for everyone. Following the edge of Lake Hume, it meanders from Tallangatta to the Old Tallangatta Lookout where the original township once thrived. At the lookout, informative signs share photos and stories from the past. A picnic shelter and seating area make it a pleasant place to stop and enjoy a bite before the return walk. Pack a picnic and take your time.

Alpine Breath sessions are held at Project Bright Studio in the heart of Bright, Victoria

Spas and Retreats

Alpine Breath

Sometimes a change of scenery is not quite enough to properly unwind. Alpine Breath offers group breathwork sessions in Bright, Victoria — a guided experience for anyone looking to truly reset and feel more like themselves. Breathwork is the practice of breathing intentionally using techniques that directly change how the body and mind feel. It sits alongside mindfulness and relaxation practices, but tends to produce results faster. No meditation experience or special knowledge needed. Just come as you are. Two session types are available on a regular basis. Restore is built around slower, extended breathing for deep calm and nervous system rest — the kind of stillness that is hard to find when actively trying to find it. Reset uses dynamic breathing patterns to shake off tension and reconnect with the body. Both are suitable for complete beginners. Breath is led by certified facilitator Stefaan White, who brings a background in science and fitness coaching to every session.
