Pack a sunset picnic and look out to Mt. Feathertop

As the second-highest mountain in Victoria, Australia, Mount Feathertop commands a magnificent presence in the heart of the Australian Alps. When you take a medical job in Australia, you'll get the chance to view this towering peak and check it off the Australian Traveller's list of the 100 best views. The prettiest place to see the mountaintop is from Mount Hotham, where lush grass and wildflowers take over the landscape in the Land Down Under's summer months.

"This is one of the most stunning views I have ever seen," Ruth Appleyard of Mt. Hotham Skiing told the travel publication. "To me, this view looking out onto Mt. Feathertop is perfect no matter what time of day or year. Whether it is covered in snow or surrounded by blue skies, it can be admired and enjoyed all the time."

To make this trip unforgettable, pack a picnic and head to the peak before dusk. With a basket filled with local fare from a supermarket in the surrounding Dinner Plain region, you'll feel like a true Aussie as the sun starts to set below the stunning Feathertop peak.
