Snowy River Country

"There was movement at the station, for the word has passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray...
(And) The man from Snowy River is a household word to-day,
And the stockmen tell the story of his ride" AB Paterson

In Snowy River Country you can feel the spirit of one of Australia's most famous literary figures - "The Man from Snowy River". You can hear the call of the men and women of the high country and the crackle of their campfires. Journey along the trails they followed as they created the legends that have become a part of the nation's heritage.

It's a magical place where the sounds of the Snowy echo through the National Park with its spectacular deep gorges and forests of Grey Gum, Alpine Ash, Messmate and Native Pine. It's an ancient place where the people of the Gunai/Kurnai hunted.

It's a place where you can experience the past, whether you're camping out or staying in wilderness retreats. Horse ride along the trails of the cattle drovers, white water raft, or four wheel drive and tour. Restore yourself with great walks through stunning landscape including Silver Mine Walking Trail and Snowy River Nature Walk starting from McKillop's Bridge. From here you can also launch a canoe into the waters of the snowy with a promise of thrilling canoeing and rafting. At the end of a day on the river, camp on one of the gentle sloping sand bars to refresh yourself for the next day's adventure. Keep a watch for wallabies, superb lyrebirds and the azure kingfishers. You might even spot a platypus.
