Mount Buffalo, Alpine National Park offers a bird’s-eye view of the Australian Alps from giant granite boulders. Picnic tables near a little stone hut let you enjoy lunch with spectacular sights, and for kids with stamina, a short but steep climb leads to the summit with breathtaking views of the Bogong area. Best visited in the warmer months when the track is dry and roads are open, it’s a stunning adventure spot beyond the ski season.
