In this remote and rugged alpine wilderness, adventure beckons.

Nestled into the Great Dividing Range on the fringe of the Alpine National Park, lies Anglers Rest. Not strictly a town, it is a centre of activity for accessing the stunning alpine region.

Rafting

Set up camp along the tranquil Cobungra River. The hairpin bend is a hotspot for fishing and swimming. The river, rushing with renewed enthusiasm after the snow melts in spring, is a favourite for thrill-seeking white-water rafters, kayakers and canoeists.
