Mount Buffalo Spring (Sept. to Nov.)

In Spring Mount Buffalo is "Wattles and Waterfalls" 

As the snow melts and the days start to get longer and warmer, the wattles on Mount Buffalo start to flower. By early November the sides of Mount Buffalo are a sea of yellow (Best seen close up on the lower Mount Buffalo Road). As the snowmelt runs off the plateau and the spring rains occur, Mount Buffalo's amazing Waterfalls become spectacular and are easier to access and view in better weather conditions. The Eurobin, Rollasons and Crystal Brook Falls are easy to access from carparks along Mount Buffalo Road. Dixons Falls are hiked across the snow plains at Cresta Valley and other waterfalls such as the Ribbon fall on the Eurobin Slabs are easy to view from the Mount Buffalo road after heavy rain.

Summer | Mount Buffalo | Victoria's High Country

Mount Buffalo Summer ( Dec. to Feb. )

In Summer Mount Buffalo is an "Adventure Playground"
During the long hot days of summer, Mount Buffalo becomes an "Adventure Playground". As the temperatures are some 10 degrees cooler than in the valleys below, the plateau becomes a magnet for Campers, Rock Climbers, Abseilers, Canyoners, Hang glider pilots, kayakers on the lake, High Liners and more. Summer is also a time when visitors swim in Lake Catani and waterfall pools to cool off.
Mount Buffalo Autumn

Mount Buffalo Autumn (Mar. to May)

In Autumn Mount Buffalo Is an "Island In The Sky"
With the warmer days becoming a mixture of weathers, Mount Buffalo in Autumn provides amazing mist and cloud-filled valleys and the Gorge. The Mountain sometimes gets so surrounded by clouds that it appears to be rising out of a sea of clouds; hence "Island In the Sky". While visitors still adventure with many of the summer pursuits, it is mostly a favorite time for Bushwalking as the weather is cooler. Autumn is a favorite season to view sunsets at the Horn or sunrises at the Gorge.
Snowshoe Hike

Mount Buffalo Winter (Jun. to Aug.)

Mount Buffalo in Winter is a "Family Friendly Snow Experience"
July to early October is Mount Buffalo's snow season. Sometimes the season is early or late but we would normally have our best snow in August and September. Mount Buffalo does not have lift-serviced skiing but there are heaps of Snowplay areas, Tobogganing slopes, Groomed Cross Country Ski Trails plus lots of areas where you can backcountry ski. The old ski lift slopes are used as Hike Up Ski Down backcountry snowboard and telemark ski slopes. Free snow camping is also available.
