Nestled in the western foothills of the Snowy Mountains, boarded by the Kosciuszko National Park and Murray River, the Snowy Valleys is located in a prime position with close geographical ties to Canberra and Wagga Wagga.

We have a primarily rural lifestyle, with major town centres in Tumbarumba and Tumut, and smaller towns and villages including Adelong, Batlow, Brungle, Jingellic, Khancoban, Laurel Hill, Rosewood, Talbingo & Tooma.

The Snowy Valleys is always in season with crisp, cold mountain air in winter, lush, green rolling hills in spring, cool, clean waterways in summer and, of course, the blaze of colour in autumn.

History

Local Elders from the Toomaroombah Kunama Namadgi Indigenous Corporation (TKNIC) and the Brungle Tumut Local Aboriginal Land Council (BTLALC) have provided the following information regarding the heritage and culture of Country known as Ngarigo and Wiradjuri.

The Ngarigo peoples, known as the 'Snow People', have been the custodians of the Snowy Mountains region for thousands of years. However, due to colonial settlement, the Snowy Mountains Scheme, State Forests, and the establishment of Kosciuszko National Park, many Ngarigo peoples have been displaced. Some found refuge at Cooktown Mission in Tumbarumba, while others were relocated to places like Hollywood Mission in Yass and Moree.

Today, many Indigenous people reside in Tumbarumba. TKNIC proudly represents the Ngarigo Indigenous people of the high country.

The Brungle township was originally developed as a station. Established in 1887 as a settlement for Wiradjuri and the Wolgalu peoples between Gundagai and Tumut, the dwellings are on ground officially described as a station yet known as a settlement, reserve or mission. They were the responsibility of the Aboriginal Welfare Board of NSW in which a white Manager was in charge of managing the station. In 1945 the manager was removed and in 1955 the Aboriginal Welfare Board decided that the land was of no further use. The housing is either owned privately or is now managed by BTLALC. The land at Brungle remains very important to these Wiradjuri and the Wolgalu (Walgaloo) peoples as a site of shared memories and links with past traditions.

Recreation & Arts

With so many reasons to visit year-round, we look forward to seeing you in the Snowy Valleys.

During Christmas, Blowering Dam shores are filled with campers, and Kosciuszko National Park becomes a mecca for campers, hikers, and holidaymakers.

In January, the Tumut Cycle Classic sees riders from across NSW, ACT, and Victoria experience the sensational views of Tumut and surrounds while raising money for the local hospital.

At the end of summer, Tumbarumba's park behind the main street hosts Tumbafest. The market stalls offer fresh local produce, wines, ciders, and craft beers under shady trees.

As the region changes from green to red as the leaves turn and fall it’s a busy time for festivals as everything cools once more, with Rock the Turf, Festival of the Falling Leaf, Tumut MTB’s 3 Hour Enduro, and the Snowy Valleys Cycle Challenge all take place.

Batlow CiderFest is celebrated in May, closing the main street as visitors sample ciders and craft beer from local makers and those across the country.

With so many reasons to visit, no matter the time of year, we’re sure we’ll see you soon. The Snowy Valleys, always in season.
