Porepunkah in Victoria is a small town located on the Great Alpine Road. It is 6 kilometres north-west of Bright and is the gateway to Mount Buffalo and the surrounding national park.

The town’s small commercial centre features a general store, a hotel and a few speciality shops. It overlooks the picturesque Ovens River and is surrounded by forests and scenic mountain ranges.

Apex Park is located on the banks of the Ovens River, offering attractive picnic and BBQ spots. For visitors wanting a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area, scenic flights are available from the Porepunkah airfield.

Access to the Mount Buffalo summit is via Porepunkah from the town’s main road junction. It’s where the Great Alpine Road meets the Mount Buffalo Road and the road to the scenic Buckland Valley.

The historic Mount Buffalo Chalet is located 14 kilometres before the summit. The chalet is currently being renovated, however visitors are welcome to explore its beautiful grounds.

A number of scenic walking tracks and lookouts are easily accessible from near the chalet. They lead to several natural attractions including the Crystal Brook Falls.

In winter Porepunkah Victoria is a great base to enjoy some tobogganing with the kids or trail walking and wildflowers during the warm months at Mount Buffalo. Ski gear and chains can be hired in Porepunkah.
