AUTUMN IN BRIGHT

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

Image Number 172

The main industry of Bright in northern alpine Victoria is tourism, with much focus on the autumnal colours of the European trees planted in the area. A major cultural event is the Bright Autumn Festival. Due to the number of paragliding and hang glider launch sites close to Bright, the town has been a centre of activity for paragliding festivals and competitions.  This image was, of course, captured in the height of autumn glory.
