Kosciuszko National Park in the Tumut Region
Truly one of Australia's great national parks, Kosciuszko encompasses most of Australia's snow-covered areas, snowgum woodlands, grassy plains, pioneer huts, and spectacular caves and limestone gorges.
The park includes Mt Kosciuszko, the highest mountain in Australia at 2228m and the headwaters of the famous Snowy River. Originally a State Park set aside in 1944, the 690,000 hectares became a National Park under the management of NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service in 1967.
It is an area of enormous natural diversity and offers many recreational opportunities. Bushwalking, camping, skiing, horse riding, fishing and mountain biking are just some of the activities on offer.

The historic Caves House has been restored and now offers accommodation for visitors. To stay in your own self-contained wing contact the Tumut Region Visitors Centre.

The park can be enjoyed in so many different ways...Walk, Drive, Ride, Camp, Fish, Horse Ride or in winter Ski. The choice is yours and each will bring its own unique experiences.
