Tumbarumba is situated on the western side of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales,
and boasts mountains, rivers and lakes, parks, forests and farms, and clean fresh air. The
boundaries extend as far as Mount Kosciuszko in the south, and to the Murray River on the
western border. The area is ideal for recreational activity such as bush walking, horse riding,
fishing and cycling.
The history of goldmining, timber and cattle, and the cleverly engineered Snowy
Mountains Scheme has created an intriguing heritage.
The snowfields of Selwyn and Thredbo can be accessed from Tumbarumba and
Khancoban, and the Kosciuszko National Park offers stunning mountain scenery and a
variety of walking tracks. Snow does fall occasionally in the town of Tumbarumba and
surrounds during winter.
The region also includes the township of Khancoban and villages of Jingellic, Laurel Hill,
Rosewood and Tooma
