Experience Australia's iconic Man from Snowy River legend, visit the Upper Murray. Jack Riley, renowned as the real Man from Snowy River, inspired Banjo Paterson with his tales of chasing wild Brumbies in the mountains behind Corryong, Victoria's High Country. This is iconic Australia, this is the home of the legend and the spirits of Jack Riley and Banjo Paterson still live on today in the Upper Murray. Come and be part of the legend.

The Upper Murray region is also home to some of Australia's most pristine environment; located in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and the headwater of the Murray River. It provides easy access to nearby Koscioszko National Park (NSW) and the Alpine National Park. Of significance is the Burrowa-Pine Mountain National Park which is the largest monolith in the southern hemisphere and which is home to some amazing and unique flora. Mt Lawson and Mt Granya State Parks also provide magnificent off-road touring experiences. With arguably one of the best climates in Victoria the region offers a pristine environment for visitors to explore and reconnect with nature - where the rivers runs fresh and crystal clear, the mountain air is invigorating and the opportunities endless.

Take the time to explore Australia's High Country heart by touring the Snowy Valleys Way to Corryong. A natural alternative to travelling the Hume Highway, the Snowy Valleys Way links Wangaratta to Corryong (via Beechworth) and onwards to Gundagai (via Tumbarumba) in NSW. You will not be disappointed.

Discover unique histories, quaint country pubs, a diversity of new 'cold climate' wines; open gardens, festivals and events, golfing on the Murray, boating, fishing, 4WDing, bushwalking, Arts and crafts, flora and fauna and so much more.
