Family Fun
Natural wonders
Lake Mountain – Buxton – Seymour – Nagambie – Shepparton – Kyabram
Begin your day at Lake Mountain Resort, a winter wonderland with cross-country ski trails, toboggan slopes and snow-play areas. During the warmer months enjoy bushwalking, road cycling and mountain bike riding.
Make your way down the mountain and catch your dinner! Throw a line in at the picturesque Buxton Trout and Salmon Farm. Kids through to grandparents will be thrilled with catching a fish at Australia’s first commercial trout hatchery.
After a night in one of our many family-friendly accommodation choices, hire a canoe with River Country Adventours and enjoy a safari at Seymour, Nagambie and Shepparton. The pristine Goulburn River is ideal for canoeing for most of the year and the environs support many bird species.
Kyabram Fauna Park offers you an incredible wildlife experience with the largest collection of Australian animals in country Victoria, displayed across 55ha of open woodland, wetlands and lakes.
