When travelling by car or motorcycle, the Snowy Mountains Drive is a great touring route to explore the region in all its glory. This is a drive like no other: the country's highest mountains; some of the most diverse flora and fauna; towns bursting with historic and cultural stories and it's the home of some of Australia's most famous icons.
The Snowies is well served by a network of sealed roads boasting spectacular scenery. Ensure you drive the loop of towns: Bredbo, Cooma, Berridale, Jindabyne, Thredbo, Khancoban, Tumbarumba, Batlow, Tumut and Adaminaby. From each town, you can visit attractions and settlements nearby and learn the history by being surrounded by it.
The Snowy Mountains Drive can be accessed from Canberra in the north, Bega on the coast and Albury to the west.
For fans of motorcycling, a visit in November is a must. It's when the hills come alive with the thrum of motorcycles as 2,000 tourers descend on Jindabyne for the annual Snowy Ride charity fundraiser.
