Australia's New South Wales
The Snowy Mountains
It is the pine clad ridges, torn and rugged battlements, crystal air, and brazingly white stars of this exquisite land that inspired Banjo Paterson’s 1890 poem, “The Man from Snowy River.” Visit any one of the nearly 100 settlers’ huts that dot The Snowy Mountains, and gain insight into the motivation for his words.
This is the true alpine wonderland of Australia, set within the wonders of the Kosciuszko National Park, the largest alpine area in Australia and home to the highest peak in the country. Decorated with mountain peaks, crystal streams, floating meadows, dense forests, labyrinthine caves, glacial lakes and brilliant wildflowers, The Snowy Mountains are well deserving of fair exploration.
