Top Attractions in Kosciuszko National Park

Mount Twynam

Mount Twynam is a mountain located on the Main Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, in the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. The mountain is located close the border between New South Wales and Victoria. With an elevation of 2,195 metres above sea level, the mountain is the third-highest mountain on mainland Australia. It is located 8 kilometres north-east of Mount Kosciuszko. The mountain is large but unimposing, and has good and far-reaching views over Blue Lake Cirque and the Western Falls. Despite being relatively accessible by track, it is rarely visited. The mountain forms a watershed for the Snowy River to the southeast and the Geehi River to the northwest.

Eucumbene Dam

Eucumbene Dam is a major gated earthfill embankment dam with an overflow ski-jump and bucket spillway with two vertical lift gates across the Eucumbene River in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The dams main purpose is for the generation of hydro-power and is one of the sixteen major dams that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. The impounded reservoir is called Lake Eucumbene, the largest storage lake in the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

Ashford Caves

The Ashford Caves, located within the Kwiambal National Park, are a series of caves that contain an outcrop of coralline limestone and are located in the New England Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The caves are managed by the NSW National Parks Wildlife Service and are situated approximately 8 kilometres west of the former Ashford coal mine, north of Ashford and not far from the Queensland border town of Texas. Originally on a private property, the Ashford Caves are now part of the Kwiambal National Park. A basic camping ground called Lemon Tree Flat is located within a 10-kilometre radius of the cave entrance, as are the Macintyre Falls. The large arch-shaped opening was made to access the phosphate resources for use as fertilizer, which has been quite profitable. Prospects of mining limestone at this location have been explored, but dismissed as unviable. A colony of Eastern Bentwing Bats a subspecies of the Common Bent-wing Bat inhabits the cave system and breeds from November through March.

Tin Mine Falls

The Tin Mine Falls is a cascade waterfall located in the remote Pilot Wilderness Area within the Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. Described from top to bottom, the falls consist of non-segmented tiered cascades over bedrock with a few smaller plunges, followed by a single large plunge into a pool. The falls are recessed into a punchbowl feature making it impossible to view the entire waterfall from a single location on the ground.

Khancoban Dam

Khancoban Dam is a major ungated earthfill embankment dam with a controlled spillway across the Swampy Plain River in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The dams main purpose is for the generation of hydro-power and is one of the sixteen major dams that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. The impounded reservoir is called the Khancoban Reservoir.

Murray Two Dam

Murray Two Dam or Murray 2 Dam is a major ungated concrete arch dam with a controlled spillway across Khancoban Bank, a diverted flow of the Snowy and Geehi rivers in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The dams main purpose is for the generation of hydro-power and is one of the sixteen major dams that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. The impounded reservoir is called the Murray Two Pondage or Murray 2 Pondage.

Kiandra

Kiandra is an abandoned gold mining town and the birthplace of Australian skiing. The town is situated in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, in the Snowy River Shire inside the Kosciuszko National Park. Its name is a corruption of Aboriginal Gianderra for sharp stones for knives. It was earlier called Gibsons Plains, named after Dr. Gibson, a settler in the district in 1839. For a century, Kiandra was Australias highest town. Kiandra lies approximately 90 kilometres north-west of Cooma on the Snowy Mountains Highway between Adaminaby and Talbingo. It sits at 1,400 metres above sea level and is situated on a high, treeless ridge, on the banks of the Eucumbene River, which is snow-covered during winter and is subject to high winds. After decades of decline, restoration work on the remaining buildings at Kiandra has been ongoing since 2009. Work on the historic Kiandra Courthouse Chalet and Wolgal Lodge fishing cottage has been conducted by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and volunteers, enabling occasional amenities and limited accommodation at Kiandra.

Australian Alps Walking Track

The Australian Alps Walking Track is a long distance walking trail through the alpine areas of Victoria, New South Wales and ACT. It is 655 km long, starting at Walhalla, Victoria and running through to Tharwa, ACT near Canberra. The track weaves mainly though Australian national parks, such as Alpine National Park and Kosciuszko National Park, though it is not exclusively restricted to national parks. It ascends many peaks including Mount Kosciuszko, Mount Bogong, and Bimberi Peak, the highest points in N.S.W., Victoria, and the A.C.T. respectively. The AAWT crosses exposed high plains including the Victorian Bogong High Plains and the Main Range in NSW. To walk the whole trail can take between 5 to 8 weeks. Food drops or a support crew are necessary, as the trail passes through no towns, although it passes close to the ski resorts of Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Baw Baw, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Perisher. It has been signposted for part of its length in a tri-state agreement. However, most parts of the Track require hikers to have highly developed navigation skills, particularly in wilderness areas. The Australian Alps Walking Track is an extension of the older Victorian Alpine Walking Track, established during the 1970s. The Victorian track was extended after many years of promotion by the Federation of Victorian Walking Clubs and various government departments. The NSW stretch of the walk is less imaginative than the Victorian section. Where the Victorian section typically follows spurs and ridges, the NSW section typically follows fire trails/tracks. The route recommended by John Siseman adds some interest to the NSW section of the walk. Between Walhalla and Tharwa it passes through these National Parks: Baw Baw National Park Alpine National Park, up to the New South Wales border. Kosciuszko National Park, immediately north of the border. Namadgi National Park, adjoining Kosciuszko National Park. Brindabella National Park

Blue Lake

The Blue Lake is one of only four cirque lakes found in mainland Australia, the other three, Cootapatamba, Albina, and Club are shallower than BL and are held entirely by terminal moraines. Its valley contains the best-developed glacial features in the Kosciuszko National Park alpine area of New South Wales. It was recognised as a wetland of international importance on 17 March 1996 when a 320-hectare area, comprising the lake and its surrounds, including nearby Hedley Tarn, was designated Ramsar Site 800 under the Ramsar Convention on wetlands.

Lake Cootapatamba

Lake Cootapatamba is a post-glacial tarn in the Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia. Lake Cootapatamba is located about 800 metres south of the summit of Mount Kosciuszko, the highest peak in Australia. It is the highest altitude lake in Australia.

Seaman's Hut

Seamans Hut is an alpine hut and memorial located in New South Wales, Australia. It was built following the death of two skiers, W. Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes in 1928. Lauries family built the hut to provide shelter to future users of the park, in order to prevent recurrence of a similar tragedy. Seamans hut is constructed from rock and has two rooms and a foyer for firewood storage. The floor is plank flooring. It is located on Etheridge Range, 6 km from Charlottes Pass on the road to Mount Kosciusko.

Blue Cow Mountain

Blue Cow is a ski resort that is part of Perisher located in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, within the Snowy River Shire. The resort is situated within the Kosciuszko National Park and is administered by the NSW National Parks Wildlife Service. During winter months, the only access to the village is via the Skitube underground railway. In summer, access is via off-road only. Blue Cow is one of the four resort bases within Perisher, Australias largest ski resort. Also known as the Blue Cow Mountain, Mount Blue Cow or The Blue Cow, the mountain lies within the Main Range of Snowy Mountains, part of the Great Dividing Range. Blue Cow Mountain has an elevation of 1,901 metres above see level.

Charlotte Pass

Charlotte Pass, elevation 1,837 m, is a location, snow resort and village in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The pass is located in the Kosciuszko National Park where the Kosciuszko Road crosses Kangaroo Ridge. Charlotte Pass Village is located at the base of Kangaroo Ridge to the south east of the pass. It is the highest permanent settlement in Australia and the location of one of Australias oldest snow resorts. It is the coldest location in Australia, with a record low of −23.0 °C and winter temperatures which regularly drop below 10 °C. The pass and village are named after Charlotte Adams who, in 1881, was the first European woman to climb Mount Kosciuszko. Charlotte Pass provides access to some of Australias highest alpine terrain and was formerly a stop off point for public vehicular access to Mt Kosciuszko, though the road now terminates at the Pass.

Perisher Ski Resort

Perisher is the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere. Located in the Australian Snowy Mountains, the resort is an amalgamation of four villages and their associated ski fields, covering approximately 12 square kilometres, with the base elevation at 1,720 metres AHD, and the summit elevation of 2,054 metres at the top of Mount Perisher. 4.4 square kilometres of this area is covered by 240 snow guns, which are used to artificially supplement the natural snowfall. Perisher was acquired by Vail Resorts, USA on March 30, 2015 for a sum of approximately AU$177 million. The resort is accessible by road and by the Skitube, Australias only underground rack railway. The main skiing period is in July and August, with the official season running from the second weekend in June to the first weekend of October. Perisher consists of 47 lifts: The Village Eight Express, an eight-seater chairlift, three high-speed quad detachable chairlifts, four fixed-grip quad chairlifts, four double chairlifts, two triple chairlifts, 21 T-Bars, three J-bars, seven ski carpets, and 2 rope tows. The run difficulties are graded 22% beginner, 60% intermediate and 18% advanced.

Located in the Kosciuszko National Park at an elevation of 1,600 metres above sea level, the falls are a short walk away from Valentine Hut. The waterfall flows in many sections with several pools.

YHA Hut

YHA Hut or Old Geehi Hut is an alpine hut located in New South Wales, Australia. Built by D Benson in 1945 for the New South Wales Water and Irrigation Commission. YHA Hut was used by the Nankervis and Mitchell families over a period of time. The Nankervis family then build Geehi Hut in 1952. During the 1950s, the hut was used as a base for the Snowy Mountains Scheme construction workers. Once the SMA had finished using the Hut, it was used as a Youth Hostel until 1977 when the National Parks and Wildlife Service resumed the hut. As of 2004, the hut had some work completed on it which included the construction of a boundary fence. YHA Hut is located in the Geehi Valley and is one of five huts made from the round river stones of the area including Geehi Hut. YHA hut is often called Youth Hostel hut, Hostel hut, Ibis hut, Bensons hut or Commissioners hut. Because of the huts location, it is popular with hikers.

Daveys Hut

Daveys Hut was built by Tom Bolton in 1909 for grazing. He moved into it with his new wife, Mary, in 1911. However the hut has since become a destination for readers of the book "If I should Wake in the Middle of the Night," by Pauline Downing. There is extensive information available through the Kosciuszko Huts Association and National Parks and Wildlife service. DAVEYS HUT 2507 Pers Comm Dr Peter Honeyman People Book KH Ossie Bolton On a rise facing east, with forested hills rising behind, each hill higher in the ramparts towards the Main Range, stands Tom Boltons simple two-roomed dwelling of milled weatherboard and alpine ash shingles. Tom built the chimney of clay bricks which was undermined by rabbits and later rebuilt by Victor Wallace circa 1930. Tom built the homestead in 1909 for his bride Mary . Ossie Bolton, the eldest son of Tom and Mary states they lived there from 1912 for one year. Daveys Hut faces toward the Gungarlin River, New South Wales which forms the boundary of Kosciuszko National Park. It is the only structure remaining of the seven huts and homesteads of a community on the southern end of Snowy Plain. This hut is a physical evocation of the past. Tom, and his brother Harry, worked the Plain for gold in their spare time. Tom managed to save enough to buy the land, to harvest crops and build the small homestead. He was the mailman for Grey Mare Mine, delivering mail from Sawyers Hill. In winter Tom used the skis he made from alpine ash. He met Mary Eliza Crowe, who was also working for the Post Office and married her in September 1908. Mary spent only one winter on Snowy Plain before moving to Kiandra and Adaminaby. The property was purchased by Les Wallace, who was also a bookie. His gambling debts forced a sale to Davey Williamson in the 1920s, who used it during the summer grazing. The name Daveys Hut stuck. As the Boltons built many huts in the mountains, another hut named for the Boltons would be very confusing. After Davey Williamson’s death in 1950, Roy Hedger, who was born on Snowy Plain and is a nearby landholder, purchased the property. It was resumed by the National Park in 1969. To the south behind the hut is a magnificent set of stockyards, slowly sinking into the ground. Probably the only stockyards in Kosciuszko National Park, apart from the stockyards at Coolamine, of any note. A major restoration is needed. Above Daveys Hut are the remains of collapsed sheep yards. On the hillock beside the hut is the grave of Ned Hull, a hermit gold miner, marked by an uninscribed natural granite headstone. He lived in a small hut near Back Creek, west of Daveys Hut where he fossicked for gold. Con Bolton found his body in the 1930s. Ned was buried on the rise overlooking Snowy Plain. Murray Napthali read a service at the graveside. Con and his son Jack, over time, moved a granite slab from Ned’s diggings to his grave as a headstone. North of Daveys on the edge of the plain are the remains of Napthalis . Nearby are the ruined remains of Hedgers, Harveys, Con Boltons Hut and the outline of John Boltons homestead who came to Snowy Plain in 1877. Beside this site is a commemorative plaque erected by the descendants of the Boltons and NPWS. It gives a brief history of the Bolton family. In 1970 Dr Peter Honeyman passed by Daveys Hut after fishing the Gungarlin River. Birds were roosting on the rafters and cattle were camped on the verandah. Ruination of the hut was imminent. Following this visit a group of Peter’s fellow doctors regularly visited Daveys, doing repairs and enjoying fishing and walking in the area. Peters group of caretakers held the hut to a stable condition until KHA and NPWS commenced major repairs. Pauline Downing 8 May 2006

Tantangara Dam

Tantangara Dam is a major ungated concrete gravity dam with concrete chute spillway across the Murrumbidgee River upstream of Adaminaby in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The dam is part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. The purpose of the dam includes water management and conservation, with much of the impounded headwaters diverted to Lake Eucumbene. The impounded reservoir is called Tantangara Reservoir.

Smiggin Holes

Smiggin Holes is a village located in the ski resort area of Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, in the Snowy River Shire. It is primarily a winter-only resort village. It is within the Kosciuszko National Park, and is administered by New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change. Access to the village is via road. There is an access fee payable to the national park, and motor vehicles are not permitted to stay overnight in the winter months. Smiggin Holes is one of four villages making up the Perisher ski resort. It is situated 1,680 metres above sea level. The name Smiggin Holes is of Scottish origin. The trampling of hundreds of cattle consuming rock salt that graziers had placed there, caused depressions that filled with water. These depressions were called "the smiggin holes". The year 1939 signified the start of Smiggin Holes as a destination for skiers. A cafe was established to service skiers en route to Charlotte Pass and Mount Kosciuszko.

Guthega Dam

Guthega Dam is concrete gravity dam with an uncontrolled spillway across the Snowy River in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The dams main purpose is for the storage of water used in the generation of hydro-power . It is the first to be completed of the sixteen major dams of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. The impounded reservoir is called Guthega Pondage.

Lake Albina

Lake Albina is a glacial lake in the Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia. Lake Albina is located about 2.5 km north of Mount Kosciuszko, the highest mountain in Australia. The lake is about 500 metres long and 50 metres wide. It is located in a ravine, with Mount Townsend to the west and Mount Lee and Mount Northcote to the east. Lake Albina drains northwards towards the Geehi River through Lady Northcotes canyon. In 1951, the Lake Albina Ski Lodge was built overlooking the lake from upstream, by The Ski Tourers Association, . In 1952 the first Albina Summer Slalom Cup was held, taking advantage of the seasonally unusual snow conditions. Summer time ski events continued for at least another 3 years on either Mount Kosciuszko or Mount Townsend. The National Parks and Wildlife Service required the club to vacate the lodge in 1969, and it gradually became a ruin. It was finally demolished by NPWS in 1983 .

CSIRO Hut

CSIRO Hut is an Australian alpine hut. The hut was built by the CSIRO in the early 1960s. It was used for researching the control of rabbits in the Kosciuszko National Park. The hut was built in the north-eastern region of Snowy Plain, where the rabbit population was at its worst. The hut was instrumental in the study of rabbit relationships in burrows during the late 1960s. In 2000 The CSIRO abandoned the hut due to funding cuts and can be used by walkers to this day. The hut is often also called Rabbiters Hut.
