We are a Retired couple living in Bright, NE Victoria. We lived in Perth for the last 30 years and moved to Bright when we retired.
Susan is originally from British Columbia Canada and I lived in British Columbia for 10 years.
We have traveled extensively and wish to do more now that we have retired.

Read More...Such a delightful stay. The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location, and thoughtfully set up to be welcoming and perfect. I put the car in the garage and just walked everywhere for the week, which means I probably missed out on lots of things the district has to offer but made it a beautiful, relaxing escape. I walked along the river every day and into town for shopping and coffee; and I spent quite a bit of time sitting in the backyard enjoying the beautiful garden and surrounds.

Read More...Ric and Susan arrived on the Sunny Coast a few days prior to the exchange, and we we're able to meet up and share travel tips and info about our respective houses etc. Doesn't happen often in 'Sim Swaps' so very happy to meet with them. Brights' fall colours were amazing! The timing for the exchange coincided perfectly with the beautiful autumn displays in the mountains, and the bonus was Ric & Susan's warm and inviting house and yard. A big feature was the log fireplace which was well stocked and ready to use, and the warmth from it really made our stay all the more memorable. An ultra-modern home with 3 beds to choose from, garage attached to house, and all top-of-the-range appliances made us feel very privileged. The weather was perfect for most of the time there, and we took advantage of the many cafes, restaurants in the township and surrounding villages. Did a lot of driving to country Victoria for reunions with friends and always happy to return 'home' to Bright, a wonderful base! Thank you for opportunity again Susan & Ric (Happy Campers)

Read More...We were privileged to be Ric and Susan's first Homelink guests. They couldn't have been more accommodating, We found their home so comfortable and beautifully appointed and in such a perfect location. We were able to leave the car at home and stroll into cafes, restaurants and shops in a matter of minutes. This area is a must see. The mountain ranges gave us some fabulous views and great drives. We found plenty of interesting local wineries, specialty shops and quaint small towns just a short drive away. We could easily have stayed longer there is so much to do and see. This home exchange will be much sought after. We wish Ric and Susan many happy exchanges. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Paul and Chris

Descrizione del vicinato e dei paraggi
The riverside town of Bright, located in the foothills of the Australian Alps, is renowned for its picture-perfect tree-lined streets, mountain views, local food and wine, boutique stores, markets, and outdoor adventures such as hiking, cycling and paragliding. All this, within close proximity to Victoria's alpine ski resorts, has firmly established Bright as one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations.
Bright is a part of the stunning region of Bright & Surrounds – an area of fertile valleys carved between alpine mountains by three rivers: the Ovens, Kiewa and Buckland. Cross the hills to Mount Beauty for dramatic views of Victoria's highest mountain; escape to the tranquility of Harrietville at the foot of Mount Feathertop; discover hidden mosaics in Myrtleford or drive Australia's highest sealed road to the alpine village of Dinner Plain. Get ready to pull up a chair at one of our region's country pubs, breweries and wineries, enjoy a bushwalk or go for a swim in our lakes and rivers, and get to know the places that make up our beautiful Surrounds.
