AS January turns to February, Mt Buller is forging ahead with a variety of events and activities showcasing the talents and beauty of the region.

Over the weekend the Mt Buller Chamber Music Summer School and the Wildflower Festival wrapped up, hosting a variety visitors and families taking advantage of the perfect weather.

The Wildflower Festival featured photography workshops, yoga and a cooking demonstrations and lunch amongst the colour of the native flora, celebrating the natural beauty of the area.

Watercolours in the Wildflowers instructor and local artist Carolyn Sheather was amazed by the number of people who attended.

"I have always wanted to come to the mountains in the summer," she said.

Also wrapping up over the weekend was the Mt Buller Chamber Music Summer School, culminating in two free performances that showcased the talent of the staff and students.

Director of the school Michele Walsh was grateful to be back after a hiatus with large crowds at both public concerts.

"People have come together after such a difficult time over the last few years and the sense of being able to make music and communicate again has been enormous," she said.

For a sporting focussed tourist attraction, having the arts on the mountain has been a refreshing change.

Ms Sheather said, "I think the festival is a fabulous idea and it will get a lot more people up to Mt Buller."

Many more summer events are planned for the region.
