The High Country region is located in the north-east of Victoria. Bushrangers, including the famous Ned Kelly, are part of the local history in this region.

Rich wine growing areas and locally produced cheeses and smallgoods are a feature of towns in the Rutherglen, Wangaratta and Milawa area.

Located in this region are a number of major alpine and ski resorts including Mount Buller, Falls Creek, Mount Buffalo and Mount Hotham with its airport which offers direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney during the snow season.

The southern end of the region includes Lake Eildon which is one of the largest artificial lakes in the state and consists of over 500 kilometres of coastline, much of which is surrounded by national park, and accessible from places such as Mansfield, Goughs Bay, Bonnie Doon in the north and Eildon in the south. Navigating a holiday houseboat through Lake Eildon's extensive waterways is a popular activity for visitors.
