Bright Shire

Bright Shire (1866-1994) was in north-east Victoria occupying much of Victoria's alpine area and extending westwards to Myrtleford Shire. Its north-west corner was the Mount Buffalo plateau. The shire's alpine and sub-alpine areas were traversed by the Ovens River (with headwaters near Mount Hotham) and the Kiewa River (with headwaters near Falls Creek).
