Porepunkah

Porepunkah occupies river flats at the confluence of the Ovens and Buckland rivers in Victoria’s alpine northeast. The settlement lies on the Great Alpine Road, beneath the granite massif of Mount Buffalo and close to Mount Buffalo National Park, whose high plateau contrasts with the orchards and river corridors of the Ovens Valley. The Buckland Valley also recalls the Victorian gold-rush era: in 1857, the Buckland Riot targeted Chinese miners, an event central to the region’s recorded history. Porepunkah is well placed for road cycling, river paddling and journeys towards Bright and the High Country.
