Family – Berries galore – Stanley & Bright
Harvesting season starts early December through to late January, so now is the perfect time to pick or purchase some berries. Depending on what’s available, your bounty could include raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or loganberries.

Adventure – Paddle down the Murray
Grab the best view of the Murray River by exploring it in a canoe or kayak! (subject to river levels)
You’ll often see locals floating down the river on various floatation devices, but there are local businesses who can kit you up. They have the expertise and equipment to send you on your way, even organising drop off and instructions.
Visit www.murrayrivercanoehire.com.au or www.canoethemurray.com.au
Scenic – Woolshed Falls Beechworth
Get back to nature with a visit to Woolshed Falls, ten minutes north of Beechworth.
View cascading falls, take a self-guided walk or enjoy a leisurely picnic.
An observation deck provides views to the falls and the valley below, which really put on a show after a summer storm.
