Snow Gums boardwalk, Kosciuszko National Park — Image credit: DPIE

National Parks and Reserves

Snow Gums boardwalk

Snow Gums boardwalk is an easy walk from Charlotte Pass lookout to Main Range lookout, offering awe-inspiring views of Australia's highest peaks in alpine Kosciuszko. Snow Gums boardwalk has one of the greatest – and most easily accessible – views in Kosciuszko National Park. Do you want to see Mount Kosciuszko and some of the country’s other high peaks? They’re right there in front of you. It’s like you’re in a grandstand. The boardwalk starts at the Charlotte Pass turning circle and follows the tree line that separates the sub-alpine from the expansive alpine landscape. The snow gums you’ll see here – some of them hundreds of years old – are dramatically twisted and stunted due to the blasting effects of wind, snow and ice. In spring, you’ll see wildflowers such as yellow billy buttons, anemone buttercups and paper daises, blooming at ground level. There’ll also likely be snowdrifts higher up, where there are no trees.

Natural Attractions

Australian Alps Walking Track

The Australian Alps extend from Canberra and the nearby Brindabella range, through the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales and along the Great Dividing Range to the northeast of Melbourne. It forms the largest area of mountainous alpine country in the nation! More than ten peaks in the Alps exceed 2100 metres, including Mt Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mountain at 2228 metres. The 655-kilometres Australian Alps Walking Track generally follows ridges and high plains through some of the highest countries in Australia and is mostly remote from any settlement. You can walk the track in ten weeks, but many people choose to walk shorter sections such as Baw Baw Plateau, Bogong High Plains and the Jagungal Wilderness. Before exploring the Alps, walkers must obtain detailed maps of their chosen walking area including a copy of "Alpine Walking Track" by J. Siseman.

Thredbo River picnic area

Spread out a blanket, lace up your walking shoes and enjoy the beautiful setting of Thredbo River picnic area. The relaxing backdrop of the river and surrounding forest combined with picnic tables and access to free barbecues make this a great spot for a break on a drive through the Snowy Mountains region. Head for the riverbank and keep quiet as platypuses are sometimes seen here. They're shy creatures though, so are more likely to be spotted at dusk. Golden clustered everlasting and blooming gum trees are abundant, particularly in spring. Those who like to fish can throw in a line and try their luck at catching one of the prized trout. There are also plenty of opportunities to do some bushwalking, with the end of Pallaibo walking track nearby.

White water rafting

Agritourism

Thredbo River

If the lakes offer tranquillity, the often thunderous torrents of the mighty Thredbo River in a spring defrost are a completely different prospect. This is a place where the fish jump and hide and race for rapids and waterfalls. This is fly fishing of another dimension. Previously known as the Crackenback, the river runs from Thredbo to Lake Jindabyne and is without question one of the most beautiful trout-perfect rivers. Giant fish and trout are a likely yield. As one of the region's two only declared "trout spawning streams" the rule is one fish per angler per day (though it is possible to continue to 'catch and release').

Rainbow Lake was created in the early 1900s to supply water to what used to be Hotel Kosciuszko. This delightful slice of Snowy Mountains heritage is also a great spot for fly fishing, so try your luck for trout.

Rennix walking track

Natural Attractions

Rennix walking track

From Giants Castle, it’s a return journey, so you can find a place to picnic, pull out your binoculars and settle down for a leisurely afternoon with a spot of birdwatching. If you’d like to visit in winter, be sure to bring your snow shoes as the track gets covered in a thick blanket of snow. There aren’t many experiences quite as invigorating as a walk through the snow, and this track allows you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Wildflowers bloom along the track between January and Easter, adding an array of vibrant colours to your bushwalking adventure – from yellow yam daisies to purple trigger plants and cream candle heath.
