This area inspired the legendary poems and stories of the mountain horsemen, who were most famously immortalised in Banjo Paterson’s The Man from Snowy River.

Perched on the edge of a lake that’s half the size of Sydney Harbour, Jindabyne is like an adventure base camp for the Snowy Mountains, providing easy access to skiing, fishing, camping, horse-riding and water sports.

The town also has a number of accommodation options, including motels, apartments and lodges.

About 40 km from Cooma, Lake Eucumbene is the largest artificial lake in the area and is teeming with trout.
