Corryong says ‘come and visit’

Corryong locals are calling on RVers to spend some time in their town following the devastating bushfires.

They’re already busy rebuilding, so if you’re able to visit and leave a few dollars behind, they’d love to have you. Amazingly, grass is already growing back after the rain, and the local caravan parks are open for business.

THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER FESTIVAL

The Man From Snowy River Bush Festival, April 2-5, has loads of activities throughout the town, and plenty of camping and accommodation options. Now in its 25th year, the proceeds will all go to bushfire recovery. www.bushfestival.com.au
