High Country Life

Bogong Village in Victoria’s High Country consists of simple wooden huts. Cobwebs linger, but Melbourne-based property company Grollo Group plans to give this neglected locale new life.

Plans call for the transformation of this area into a village for seasonal workers servicing nearby ski resorts, complete with tavern and 27 cabins that will be renovated so as to accommodate up to 200 winter staffers.

Mountain Retreats

Mountain retreats provide an idyllic escape for those looking to reconnect with nature. Many mountain resorts provide hiking and snowboarding trails as well as spa services and local cuisine restaurants – while transport and other needs can often be taken care of as well. When planning a mountain retreat for yourself or with others, make sure that enough research has been conducted on potential destinations before making a final decision.

Some of the top mountain retreats can be found in iconic locales, including Aspen, Colorado; Interlaken, Switzerland; and Queenstown, New Zealand. These destinations provide breathtaking views, skiing/snowboarding facilities, cultural immersion opportunities, as well as rest and rejuvenation opportunities – making them perfect places for those seeking to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and loved ones.

An ideal mountain retreat offers many reasons for choosing it as the destination of your next vacation. Enjoying fresh air, stunning scenery, and discovering natural marvels are hallmarks of excellence on these trips, which allow visitors to focus on personal growth while inspiring change in lifestyle choices and rejuvenate both body and mind – these trips have proven themselves popular with both groups and individuals alike.

Mountain retreats should be treated differently from regular hotels; they’re usually more secluded, designed for people looking for an escape from everyday life and full of spa services, yoga spaces and plenty of room for group activities – as well as offering delicious meals at very competitive rates.

Some mountain retreats cater specifically to adults while others welcome families as well. Many offer no tech policies and encourage families to disconnect from their phones; others even host campfire nights and yoga classes for added entertainment and bonding time together. All are great choices for family getaways that want to spend quality time together while having fun together!

Fondation Franz Weber was established to preserve Australia’s wild horses known as brumbies. Brumby Week, held each August on Kings Creek Station 300km south of Alice Springs in Australia’s Red Centre, provides participants with training to domesticate wild horses as well as provide knowledge about natural horsemanship. Though Bonrook cannot significantly reduce the population of wild brumbies, it provides people with an alternative method for controlling wild horse numbers: humane culling. Every three years, Northern Territory government Department of Lands evaluates Bonrook for soil impact, erosion and overgrazing issues; its evaluation concluded that wild horse grazing practices do not pose any threats to native flora or fauna.
