Falls Creek is a ski resort in the Victorian Alps, Australia.
In the off-season (i.e. any time that’s not winter) it’s great for mountain-biking, fly-fishing and hiking, as well as high-altitude training for crazy extreme runners and cyclists.
Accommodation-wise, we’ve stayed at Husky Apartments and QT and can recommend both for couples, particularly if you want to self-cater most of the time.
Although many of the resort facilities are closed outside of the ski season, the local supermarket is open most days, and a few of the restaurants run skeleton staff – in our experience, the staff of Stingray and The Last Hoot do an excellent job.
Off-mountain in the area, afternoon tea at Treats in Tawonga South is a must. Run by a welcoming, energetic team, the café serves a wide variety of meals and cakes. And you can plan a flip at the local gliding club on the same day-trip (perhaps before you’ve eaten 
).
It’s the perfect place to give the lungs and the brain some fresh air.

That’s pretty amazing. That landscape is crazy!
Hi 🙂 It is a crazy landscape, covered in ghost trees from a devastating bush fire in 2003. Australia is a country of extremes, that’s for sure.
Looks wonderful 🙂 and I especially love your header photo!
Thanks, Gabe. It’s a lovely part of the country.
Love the glider shot!
Thanks, MOSY – had my camera on the wrong settings, but neve rmind 🙂
Beautiful place, beautiful shots. Amazing view. Hope you had a leisurely walk up there at Falls Creek. Gliding? I don’t know about that myself 😀
Thanks, Mabel. Gliding is not for the weak of stomach. I did a bit in South Africa (as a passenger, and allowed to take the controls once or twice) and it can certainly make one quite queasy. 🙂
This is such a beautiful part of Australia 😀
It is, Dianne. We love it there in the off-season, although my husband would really like to give the slopes a go in the ski season :-). I’m hopeless at skiing – had one lesson a few years ago, but found the boots beyond uncomfortable, so am much happier hiking and cycling the mountains than attempting to ski them :-D.
I ended up in a stream on a school excursion when I was younger and thought I was going to freeze to death. I’m certainly not a skier 😉
Sounds like a great place to get a lift.
It is, Nancy. And so silent at night. Amazing.
The more I learn about Australia, the more I love it….
Come visit, Cynthia! 🙂
Looks like a fascinating place to “give the lungs and brain some fresh air.” Beautiful photos too.
Thanks, Dor. You live in not un-similar environs, from what I can see, not The Big Smoke like me. 🙂

incredible country – and Bluebee — you are an intrepid soul — hang gliding!!
Not hang-gliding, Monica, gliding in a motorless aeroplane 🙂
Oh – no problem there – yikes!
I’d say it’s far safer than hang-gliding. 🙂
Love the photos – especially the first one with all the beautiful shades of blue. I have such a love for the mountains. What a perfect place to visit.
Thanks, Joanne.
that is so beautiful 🙂
Nature’s good, isn’t she? 🙂
It’s beautiful, is it where your header photo was taken?
Yes, it is, Gilly. Thanks.
