Bullocks Hut

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Bullocks Hut

Some places are so remarkable, they seem tailor made for special occasions. Bullocks Hut, not far from Jindabyne and Thredbo in Kosciuszko National Park, is just such a place. Framed by dramatic mountains and flat grassy areas, Bullocks Hut sits scenically in a valley where the waters of the Thredbo River and Little Thredbo River meet. Built in 1934 as a fishing lodge for Dr Bullock, the hut is an ideal setting for weddings. Many couples agree - it's not unusual to see a bride wandering past the hut, particularly in summer, or a group huddling together on the picturesque banks for a photograph. Bullocks Hut is popular with visitors drawn by its fishing, picnic, walking and mountain biking opportunities. It's a highlight along Bullocks track walk and within easy reach of the Thredbo Valley track, making it a great option for an afternoon ride or stroll to nearby Thredbo Diggings campground to finish off your day.

Blue Lake

Natural Attractions

Blue Lake

Blue Lake resides in Australia's winter wonderland, the Snowy Mountains. The lake was formed thousands of years ago when glaciers swept through the Great Dividing Range, carving the granite bedrock as it surged. Due to this unique formation of the lake, Blue Lake is one of only four cirque lakes found on the mainland of Australia, meaning the lakes are shaped like an amphitheatre in the foothills of a valley. The area, located to the west of Jindabyne, is a UNESCO biosphere reserve and has been listed as a Wetland of International Importance, under the Ramsar Convention of 1996. The site holds great biological significance due to the highly concentrated numbers of threatened flora and fauna living in the area, including the mountain pygmy possum and the broad-toothed mouse. For this reason, Blue Lake is used for environmental education with a focus on managing ecosystems and maintaining sustainable biological diversity. You can access Blue Lake from Charlotte's Pass at the west end of Kosciusko Road. The four hour return journey passes over the famous Snowy River, along the Main Range Track, and offers stunning glacial scenery. Camping is not permitted due to the conservation efforts.
