Areas within the Snowy Mountains

Adaminaby - The original Adamniaby township was relocated in the 1950s when the Eucumbene River was dammed to form Lake Eucumbene.

Batlow - The town of Batlow, 30kms south of Tumut, is famous for its bountiful apple, cherry and stonefruit orchards.

Berridale - Surrounding the township, and a cause of much interest, are the unusual granite boulders unique to this region. Crystallised as a large mass from magma many kilometres below the surface, the granite formed around 400 million years ago.

Bombala - The rivers around Bombala have some of the highest populations of platypus in New South Wales, with the area promoted as “Australia’s platypus capital”. A visit to the Platypus Sanctuary, just out of town, is well worth it.

Bredbo - Bredbo is a pretty town and the site of the annual Spring Ute Muster and the annual Sheep Dog Trials.

Dalgety - The historic village of Dalgety on the banks of the Snowy River is the only town left on the Snowy River in New South Wales, after the Snowy Scheme was built and the old towns of Jindabyne and Adaminaby were flooded.

Jindabyne - The original town of Jindabyne was relocated in the 1960′s when the Snowy River was dammed as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. The remains of the old town lie submerged under Lake Jindabyne, they can occasionally be glimpsed when lake levels are low.

Khancoban - Overlooking a lake and central to many popular trout streams, it provides an ideal location for fishing, boating, whitewater rafting, canoeing and waterskiing or a relaxed game of golf with the kangaroos at the Khancoban Country Club.
