Thrill-seekers in Victoria's High Country know where to go to get their fix: Bright Adventure Company, which runs everything from whitewater rafting tours to stand-up paddleboard rentals to snowshoeing trips to cliff picnics.
Yes, we said cliff picnics. A picnic on a suspended platform on the side of Mount Buffalo, 300 metres above the valley floor. There are sunrise, lunch or dinner cliff picnics available, and they can be enjoyed by two, three or four people.
There's a warm-up abseil of a casual 25 metres, and then you abseil down the side of the cliff to your own private ledge. A Bright Adventure Company employee will then bring your picnic hamper, filled with local produce and gourmet delights.
If you want to celebrate a birthday or propose to a special someone on the side of a mounting, let Bright Adventure Company know in advance, and the helpful staff can sort things out for you. Just don't drip the ring – it's a long way down.
