King River Valley


The King River in Victoria is a tributary of the Ovens River and ultimately flows into the Murray River. The King Valley is a beautiful picturesque high country spot and is a cool climate wine grape growing area. I was surprised at how many extensive vineyards are located here. The King River and Lake William Hovell (one of the prettiest lakes in Victoria) are crystal clear waters that offer excellent trout fishing (I'm told) . The lake has day visiting facilities, fishing from small boats and from the bank is allowed. Camping is not. With a four wheel drive  you can explore the upper King River past Lake William Hovell or tackle The Buckland Spur track. Next time I plan to tackle the Upper King River track and catch some wild trout. I settled for a camp near Cheshunt right on the river, it was a great spot hidden away and not well sign posted.
