Tumut Visitor Centre is the ideal introduction to the diverse attractions, scenery and activities of northern Kosciuszko National Park.
Blowering Reservoir's sparkling waters are a drawcard for boating, sailing and waterskiing. Camp by the water, throw a fishing line in and see if the cod or redfin are biting, and be sure to bring your canoe or kayak for a paddle.
Spot kangaroos, emus, and maybe even an eagle, from your campground or picnic spot on Blowering’s eastern shores. Head off the beaten track to secluded Buddong Falls campground, near Tumbarumba.
The tall forests hide shady tracks and trails to secret waterfalls and panoramic lookouts. Walk to pretty Buddong Falls, or climb to the base of Blowering Cliffs. Hike along Old Mountain Road, or discover Landers Falls lookout, perched above a rocky gorge. Nearby, Big Talbingo trail is a challenge for both mountain bikers and walkers.
Most attractions are easily accessed along the Snowy Mountains Highway. This scenic drive runs 180km from Tumut to Cooma, via Talbingo and Adaminaby. You could even make a day of it, and take in Yarrangobilly.
