Howqua

The Howqua Valley offers some of Victoria's most spectacular wilderness scenery, with rugged mountain terrain and pristine alpine environments. The historic Howqua Hills area features remnants of old mining settlements from the gold rush era, with scattered ruins and mining relics still visible along the tracks. The valley provides access to challenging 4WD tracks that attract adventure enthusiasts from across the state, including the famous Howqua Hills Historic Area. Remote bushland camping opportunities abound for those seeking true wilderness experiences. The Howqua River itself is renowned for excellent trout fishing and offers scenic swimming holes surrounded by ancient mountain ash forests. This is genuine High Country wilderness at its finest.
