Alpine Adventures
Adventure in Gapsted, High Country, VIC, AU
Thanks Triumph & Disaster for supporting this story.
Our four day getaway in the heart of the Victorian Alps was just was we needed to reset. We spent two nights camping next to rivers and another two in the most gorgeous, restored, old tobacco kiln which was pure bliss. There was so much to do out there; hiking to waterfalls, sledding with beautiful Husky dogs, soaking in hot springs, finding cheese and wine spots everyday, visiting wineries and mixing with the locals, just to name a few.
Just a few minutes drive out of the heart of Gapsted was where we called home for a couple of days. Cortes Kiln is situated on a working walnut farm with lots of bush and nature all around complete with parrots calling out to their friends and greeting us in the morning. The design was impeccable. Every door opened to a welcoming room and the outdoors was welcomed indoors with a large sliding door that when open, enabled us to soak in the surrounding views. We were totally at peace....
