This three-kilometre loop track follows a gorge carved naturally by the river and water races dug by early miners. Populous maple and oak trees make for a colourful entrance at Star Bridge, before shifting to native scrub in mint bush, ovens wattle, orchids and wildflowers along the track. Start at Howitt Park, just a short stroll from Bright’s main street, and head along the north bank. You can make the short loop to the first suspension bridge in about 30 minutes, or continue to the second bridge further up the river, totalling around one hour to 90 minutes. It’s mostly an easy walk, with a few hill scrambles and the option to deviate off the main track and explore intriguing rock formations by the riverbank.
