📍 Bright
Bright, Victoria has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories come from childhood camping trips in Porepunkah, school holidays spent swimming in the river, and time shared with my grandparents that shaped so many of those moments. I’ve always loved the town itself, the food, the restaurants, and the atmosphere, especially when classic car shows rolled through and brought the place to life. Now, as an adult, Bright has taken on a new meaning. As the gateway to the High Country and just a stone’s throw from Mount Hotham, it’s the perfect base for exploring a place that continues to grow with me.

Highlights
Key items I wouldn’t go without:
• 80 Series Landcruiser
• Cameras - Photo & Video
• Hoodie, Even in Summer

Summary
I’m driven by a deep love for the outdoors, dirt bikes, photography, and life off the beaten track. Whether it’s exploring new locations, snowboarding, or returning to familiar places filled with shared memories, every trip has meaning. These days, it’s all about slowing down and creating those moments with close friends and my new family.
