What to do in Greater Hume in September

The start of spring often means the weather is warming up, picnics and BBQs become the regular get together meal and we start to get final fever as the winter sports race to the final siren. 

The start of spring also means its time to celebrate our dads and father figures as Fathers Day appears on our calendars once again! Greater Hume has all a father could ask for, so why not bring him out for an adventure this September.

If your father loves the outdoors then you are sure to win the favourite child award as you bring him out to Woomargama National Park, where his camping, hiking, and mountain biking needs will be exceeded. Spend a day within the park and pack a picnic, or organise to camp over night and bask in the views of the stars. 

More of a fishing and boating outdoor guy? You can enjoy some quality time out on the water relaxing while waiting for the fish to bite at one of our great fishing spots in Greater Hume, like Billabong Creek, the Might Murray River or Lake Hume.

If your dad is more of a 'lets relax with a good pub meal' like mine is, we have you covered with that experience as well!

Treat dad to a special dinner and a cold one at one of our restaurants or pubs in Burrumbuttock, Culcairn, Gerogery, Henty, Holbrook, Jindera, Morven, Walbundrie, Walla Walla, and Woomargama. The country hospitality at any of these hotels will leave you feeling like a local in no time.

Another classic fathers day adventure is a great game of golf. Challenge your dad to a game at the Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook or Jindera golf course. Not to worry if lawn bowls is more dad's style, you can drive for the jack at the Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook or Walla Walla Bowling Clubs. 

For more information on these fathers day activities or to find some other amazing adventures go to #visitgreaterhume.
