The Snowy Valleys stretches from the western slopes of the Snowy Mountains towards the plains of the Riverina in Southern NSW. Reaching from just south of Gundagai in the north, to the Murray River on the Victorian border in the south, and from the ACT border in the East, towards the plains of the Riverina in the West, it’s a region of contrasts.
Tumut and Tumbarumba, the largest towns, are just over an hour from Wagga Wagga, the Riverina’s largest city. This is also home to the closest commercial airport.
Canberra, Australia’s capital and the nearest International Airport, is an easy drive from Tumut (just over 2 hours), while the drive from Sydney to Tumut is around 4 ½ hours via the Hume Highway.
Tumbarumba is less than five hours from Melbourne via the Hume Highway.
Alternatively, join the Great River Road at Albury and enjoy the amazing new sculptures along the mighty Murray River or take the Snowy Valleys Way, from Wangaratta through Beechworth, Yackandandah and Tallangatta – either scenic route will be a road trip to remember.
