We stayed at Yarrangobilly Village Campground, run by NSW National Parks. Camping itself is free—you just pay a small booking fee, making it an awesome budget-friendly spot to base yourself. Nestled along the banks of the beautiful, meandering Yarrangobilly River, this place is pure serenity. Th

Nestled beneath the Snowy Mountains, Tumut is the kind of riverside town that instantly makes you slow down and relax. Surrounded by nature, it’s peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. We thought about going for a swim in the Tumut River… but one touch of the water and nope — absolutely freezing! The

Ever heard of Talbingo? Most people haven’t — but this tiny Snowy Mountains town with a population of just around 250 is seriously underrated. Talbingo Dam is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water stretching for around 24 kilometres and depths reaching over 150 metres. It’s a dream spot for

Hidden in the Yarrangobilly area of northern Kosciuszko National Park, this spring-fed thermal pool is an absolute gem! There’s a short but steep 700m walk down from the car park, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. The water sits at around 27 degrees year-round… although it definitely felt a litt

We explored the incredible South Glory Cave at Yarrangobilly with a self-guided tour, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our trip through northern Kosciuszko National Park. It’s the largest cave in the Yarrangobilly system and absolutely packed with amazing formations — delicate straws,

The hut was in great condition and painted pink — definitely a bonus! Summer here was seriously hot, so finding a cool little swimming spot near Port Phillip Fire Trail was an absolute lifesaver. But nothing topped watching a herd of brumbies stroll past camp at sunset while the cockatoos and magpi

Originally relocated in 1957 during the construction of the Eucumbene Dam, this little town is packed with Snowy Mountains history. Sitting along the Snowy Mountains Highway near Cooma, it’s the gateway to Selwyn Snow Resort and the northern side of Kosciuszko National Park. In the off-season the s

The Snowy Mountains are packed with incredible walking tracks, but Pallaibo Walking Track was easily our favourite. We headed off on a short hike, cooled down in the crystal-clear river afterwards, then wrapped up the day with a BBQ by the water. Such a perfect way to spend the afternoon! #Snow

Stopping at Waste Point Lookout on the way to Perisher and Charlotte Pass, and the views over Lake Jindabyne are seriously stunning! But the real head-turner is this massive concrete cylinder sitting on the mountain — part of the incredible Snowy Hydro Scheme, with a giant pipe running all the way

Perisher out of season feels like stepping into another world. No crowds, no chaos, just empty streets and ghost town vibes everywhere. There wasn’t heaps to do, but it was still pretty cool exploring such a different side of the place. #Perisher #SnowyMountains

Spencers Creek is pure Aussie Alps magic 😍 There’s a raw, rugged beauty out here that’s hard to beat. The water? Absolutely freezing… but somehow so calm, peaceful, and ridiculously refreshing at the same time. Just one of those places that makes you stop and take it all in. #SpencersCreek #S

Stepping out onto the Snow Gums Boardwalk and wow… the views are absolutely unreal! 😍 It’s a short, easy walk, but the panoramic views over the main range are next level. Definitely one you don’t want to miss—just make sure you get there early, because parking fills up fast! #CharlottesPass #

We jumped on the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift and WOW… those views over the Snowy Mountains are next level! 😍 From there, we took on the iconic Mount Kosciuszko Summit Walk—such an epic hike with unreal scenery the whole way. We even stopped in at Eagles Nest Restaurant, Australia’s highest restaur

Woke up in the morning to find the car covered in mysterious markings—honestly, we had no idea what had happened overnight! 🤔 After a bit of investigating, we discovered the culprits… Alpine kangaroos! Turns out they absolutely love licking the salt and minerals off your car. Who knew your vehicle

We stayed at Adventist Alpine Village Campground and wow—this place is packed with wildlife! 🦘🌿 There’s heaps to do too, with hiking trails, bike tracks, and even a pump track to keep things fun. And the views over Lake Jindabyne? Absolutely unreal—we could stare at that all day. Best part? Y

Rolling into Jindabyne and WOW… that view completely caught us off guard! 😍 This place is the ultimate combo of crisp mountain air and laid-back lake life. Set right on the edge of Lake Jindabyne, it’s relaxed, ridiculously scenic, and packed with adventure at every turn. #snowymountainsnsw

If spotting wombats in the wild is on your bucket list… this is your spot! 🐾✨ We stayed at Bendeela Recreation Area, where you can camp for free (just a small booking fee), and honestly—it’s next level. As the sun starts to set, the cutest wombats wander out of their burrows and roam the campgro

What a spot! One of the most beautiful riverside camps in Eastern Australia—action-packed days on the water and cosy nights by the fire with wombats wandering past! #nswsouthcoast #shoalhaven #Coolendel

We don’t usually stay at caravan parks, but staying at Umina Beach Holiday Park for work was a game changer—pools, beach access, bike hire, games rooms… they’ve literally thought of everything! #Uminansw #centralcoastnsw #NRMAOceanBeachHolidayResort
