Things to do around the Buchan Motel
   
  • Snowy River National Park has some of Victoria's most spectacular river scenery, magnificent gorges and forests make Snowy River an outstanding national park. The park covers an area of 95,290 ha, protecting Victoria's largest forest wilderness. In the north, the Bowen Range and Gelantipy Plateau dominate. Flowing south into the Snowy are the rugged water ways of Mountain Creek and the Rodger River. Vegetation in the park varies from dry rainshadow woodland to ancient forests and sub-alpine woodland. The rich fauna of the area reflects this diversity.

  • Join a guided tour of the Royal and Fairy Caves to see spectacular limestone formations. ‘Wild Caving’ adventure tours in undeveloped Caves are a challenge.
