| There’s magic in the mountains – in the crystal clear, snow-fed streams that brim with trout and in the crisp mountain air.
Forests and farmlands roll into Australia’s premier National Park, Kosciuszko; mountain streams tumble into the pristine headwaters of the mighty Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers. Gentle rolling hills climb to the peaks of Mt Kosciuszko and the Australian Alps.
Here you will find the Snowy Mountains Scheme, the huts of the mountain stockmen, the heritage of The Man From Snowy River, fantastic fishing, and bush walks that take you from farmland into Alpine Ash forests, from valleys into mountains and past magnificent waterfalls.
Travelling through the region you will find another magnificent view around every bend in the road.

There is wildlife everywhere from a huge variety of brightly coloured parrots to wallabies, kangaroos, wombats and echidnas. Often in the early morning you will come across wild deer and brumbies.
Awe-inspiring scenery tempts every traveller, magnificent golf courses invite you to take a break from touring whilst rivers and streams sing their siren song to anglers of all ages.
Local vineyards and wineries produce some of Australia’s best cool climate wines; annual festivals like Tumbafest, the New Year’s Day Rodeo, the Tumbarumba PA&H Show, Khancoban’s fireworks night and the Upper Murray Challenge mean that there is something for everyone in Tumbarumba Shire.
