The scenic alpine wilderness of the Central Highlands Plateau was recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage Area in 1982 on the basis of all four of its natural criteria and three cultural standards - making it the most qualified World Heritage property on Earth.

Famous for its prolific wild brown and rainbow trout fisheries, the Central Highlands is proud to host the 2012 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships.

Bushwalkers will delight in an alpine climate that supports unique plants and abundant wildlife. Kayaking, canoeing and golf are also on offer.

Historic towns preserve a rich heritage of settlement, and the winding country roads between them unlock a colourful convict past.
