This is a four kilometres-return walk from the town of Mt Beauty, tracing the eastern bank of the lovely Kiewa River.
This sealed walk path follows the Kiewa River (west branch) as it threads through the north end of the lovely town of Mount Beauty in the Happy Valley region.
The walk trail begins just off the main Highway into town, but the scenery certainly improves as you pass farmland, shady groves, happy riverside campers (in warmer months) and then arrive at the inviting Pebble Beach area for a swim, if you fancy.
Pack your swimwear and some water shoes if the weather is warm, as the rocks are very slippery (and can be pointy and uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet).
When you approach the beach area the path splits – stay left and follow the river.
The ‘beach’ is really a calmer section of the river that opens up a little, though the current can still whistle along and there are smaller rapids to the north and south.
Currents can be quite strong (especially after rain). Always check conditions and it is not advisable for children or weaker swimmers (and never swim alone).
There are no toilets along the route.
The team’s aim is for everyone to improve their physical health through exploring the outdoors.
Explore the beautiful Kiewa Valley and surrounds while cycling through Victoria’s High Country with Rocky Valley Bikes and Snow Sports.
Challenge yourself in the Bike Hill Mountain Bike Park or on the new trails at Falls Creek on a mountain bike or climb the surrounding mountains on a road bike. If enjoying nature at a leisurely pace is more your style then explore the Kiewa Valley or Bogong High Plains on an electric bike.
Rocky Valley Bikes and Snow Sports has your cycling needs covered, with a variety of bikes for hire, including electric and dual suspension and a mechanic on duty. With nature at your door step, you will find an assortment of trails to ride and the scenery is breathtaking.
Step back into another time with a celebration of Australian heritage. Ride the High Plains on a journey to the Mittagundi Bush Dance and Pioneer Festival before climbing onto Mount Bogong, Victoria’s highest mountain.
Pioneering the High Plains expedition takes you on a journey, through diverse landscapes, along a route that highlights the vertical scale, and the rich cultural heritage of the Victorian High Country.
Mid tour you will follow the spectacular Track 107 down to Mittagundi, a not for profit outdoor education centre where they host the annual Mittagundi Bush Dance and Pioneer Skills fundraising weekend. Bogong Horseback adventures invites guests to get involved in a traditional bush festivities weekend and pick up some long lost bush skills along the way.
For the final few days the tour will head up The Long Spur to the final camp on Mount Bogong, Victoria’s highest mountain. On your last day you climb to the highest place you can take a horse in Australia, and nestled in the valley far below is Spring Spur, your destination at day’s end.
This is the Mittagundi 40th Anniversary Bush Festival.
