"6453"-*" 4 #&45 4,* 3&4035 Thredbo has been crowned Australia’s best ski resort at the World Ski Awards for the fourth consecutive year. The World Ski Awards is a global initiative that celebrates excellence in ski tourism and every year attracts votes from hundreds of thousands of travel professionals and skiers across the globe. Thredbo took out the Best Ski Resort (Australia) category at a prestigious ceremony held at A-ROSA Kitzbuhel, Austria, overlooking the iconic Hahnenkamm. Thredbo General Manager Stuart Diver said the accolade was testament to the hard work of hundreds of staff members across resort operations, the spirit of the local community and the support of the thousands of visitors welcomed to Thredbo each year. “We’re proud to be Australia’s Best Ski
Resort for four years running and to win this title in a challenging year makes it even more special. We’re grateful for the ongoing support of our community and the many visitors who choose to ski at Thredbo each year.” This year was a unique winter season for resorts with Thredbo operating under a revised COVID-19 operating plan developed under the advice of the NSW Department of Health. The plan included a range of social distancing, hygiene and sanitisation measures. “We feel fortunate to have delivered a safe winter season in 2020 and to have been able to have seen so many smiling faces enjoying the fresh mountain air and the world-class skiing and snowboarding that we have on offer here. Winning this award is the icing on the cake,” said Diver. This year Thredbo launched the Merritts Gondola, Australia’s only alpine

gondola after two years of planning. The multi-million-dollar development revolutionised travel on the mountain with the high-speed gondola transporting guests up to the Merritts area in only six minutes via comfortable European-style cabins that fit up to eight people. “The gondola has been a game changer and the reaction from the community was better than I could have imagined. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. It’s completely changed the flow of guests around the mountain giving riders and scenic passengers easy access to the Merritts Mountain House as well as the Friday Flat beginners area. Everyone loves it.” Thredbo also impressed guests with its wide range of trails for all abilities, world-class ski school and familyfriendly dedicated beginners’ area. Boasting the longest run in the country,

skiers and snowboarders enjoyed carving turns down the iconic Supertrail as well as access to the highest lifted point in Australia at 2037 metres elevation. For the ultimate bucket list experience adventurers could even tour to the highest summit in the country, Mt Kosciuszko, on Thredbo’s Backcountry Tours. Off the mountain, Thredbo entertained guests with weekly fireworks shows and exceptional food and wine at an array of restaurants and bars in the Austrianinspired alpine village. Thredbo was recently also crowned Australia’s Best Family Ski Resort for 2020 in the Ski & Snowboard with Kids Awards. Australia’s premier year-round adventure destination is now gearing up for its summer season with mountain biking and hiking officially launched on November 21.

#0"5*/( 4"'&5: As the weather warms up and the skippers and anglers among us are looking to get out on the water, it’s worth taking a moment to refresh yourself on boating and water safety to avoid having a fun-filled summers day end in tragedy. Firstly, the master of any vessel must know the rules and be aware of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. These are adopted in NSW and modified through the Marine Safety Regulation 2016. These regulations are also applicable to boating on our local lakes, rivers and waterways. All licensed boaters should be aware of the mandatory safety equipment needed when boating such as, lifejackets, bilge pumps and flares. A full checklist of required equipment as well as all boating rules and regulations can be found at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/maritime/ Alpine Waters Alpine waters present their own unique boating challenges. As with other inland waters, many hazards are not marked and as water levels fluctuate, more hazards may develop just under the surface. Alpine lakes are often subject to very
Alcohol and drug offences
A safe speed cannot be expressed as a maximum or minimum number of knots because it varies with circumstances and conditions. The master (skipper) must continually assess the safety of the vessel’s speed.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is an offence. A designated driver (skipper) should remain under the legal limit when out on the water in case you need to move your vessel. Random breath testing (RBT) and random drug testing (RDT) can be conducted on the operator of a vessel while it is underway, including drifting. RBT and RDT do not apply when a vessel is moored, berthed or at anchor.
A safe speed is one at which the vessel can be stopped in time to avoid any danger which arises suddenly. In judging a safe speed the master must consider a number of issues including:
cold and windy weather. Many of these lakes commonly experience snow in winter. The higher altitude means weather often changes quickly, so proper trip preparation and continuous monitoring of the weather when you are out are essential. Watch for any warnings and be prepared to change your plans if necessary. The importance of keeping tabs on the weather cannot be overstated. Winter brings a greater risk of hypothermia to boaters exposed to the elements. Capsizing in cold water can also be life-threatening. ‘Cold shock’ can incapacitate almost instantly. So plan and prepare to avoid cold shock and hypothermia. •
Minimise your capsize risk
•
Check the weather. If in doubt, don’t go out
•
Wear warm and wet weather gear
•
Wear a lifejacket
•
In the water, don’t swim unless extremely close to the shore. Remain with your craft in the ‘HELP’ or ‘Huddle’ position
•
Speed
•
Visibility - Drive slowly in rain, fog, mist, smoke or glare
•
Night - Special caution is required at night because many potential hazards may not be lit or may not be easily seen. Background shore lighting may confuse you
•
•
•
•
0.00 for all vessel operators under 18 years
Other vessels - Slow down on busy waterways and when near moored or anchored vessels, working vessels showing special signals and large vessels which have difficulties in manoeuvring
•
Less than 0.02 for commercial vessel operators over 18 years
•
Less than 0.05 for recreational vessel operators over 18 years.
•
The operator of a vessel includes:
Navigation hazards - Slow down in shallow areas or in unfamiliar waterways. Water depth can vary and change frequently. Not all hazards may be marked or lit and signs, buoys, marks or lights may have shifted or been vandalised
•
Anyone steering or exercising control over the course or direction of a vessel
•
The observer in a ski boat or personal watercraft
•
A person being towed by a vessel
•
A person supervising the operator of a vessel under 16 years of age.
Wind, waves and currents - May adversely affect the manoeuvrability of a vessel Manoeuvrability of the vessel - Stopping and turning ability depends on the speed travelled, wind and current and the boat’s design, such as hull shape, engine and propeller type and number.

%3*7*/( 5)& .06/5"*/4 A driving or motorbike tour along Alpine Way scenic drive is a great way to discover the spectacular mountain views, serene campgrounds, magnificent walks, rides, and heritage of southern Kosciuszko National Park. Where: Khancoban area in Kosciuszko National Park Distance: 108km one-way Park entry fees apply. The Alpine Way is steep, narrow and winding between Khancoban and Thredbo, and subject to rockfalls after rain. This section is not recommended for vehicles towing large caravans. For sweeping mountain views and unending vistas that are sure to clear the head, try a car or motorbike adventure along the magnificent Alpine Way. Linking Jindabyne in the southern reaches of Kosciuszko National Park to Khancoban, near the Victorian border, it’s an iconic road trip for all ages. Winding through tall mountain forests and past the dramatic western fall of the Main Range, snowcapped peaks can be seen from winter through to spring. You’ll be driving a path well-travelled, rich with historic significance. Aboriginal people travelled this route to the high country, and more recently, it was used as a drover’s stock route and for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. Pack as much or as little adventure into your road trip as you like, with spectacular walking, fishing and
mountain biking options along the way. There’s a range of accommodation options on offer too, from Thredbo Alpine Village, to riverside camping at Tom Groggin and Geehi Flats. Facilities Toilets and picnic facilities are located at various sites along Alpine Way Drive, including Bullocks Hut, Thredbo Alpine Village, Geehi Flats campground, Scammells lookout and Khancoban Visitor Information Centre. Alpine safety Alpine areas present special safety issues. Conditions can be extreme and may change rapidly, particularly in winter. It’s important to be prepared and find out how to stay safe in alpine areas. Alpine Way is steep, narrow and winding between Khancoban and Thredbo. Watch out for minor rock falls, especially after rain. Accessibility Wheelchair-accessible facilities are available at several locations along Alpine Way, including: • Khancoban Visitor Centre • Scammells lookout • Geehi Flats campground • Tom Groggin campground • Thredbo Alpine Village
Permitted Camping Permitted at designated campgrounds accessed along Alpine Way. Fishing You can fish in rivers and streams between the October and June long weekends. A current NSW recreational fishing licence is required to fish in all waters. Fishing in dams and lakes is permitted yearround, but some waterways may close temporarily or have restrictions. Refer to the NSW Recreational Freshwater Fishing Guide for information. Prohibited Drones Flying a drone for recreational purposes is prohibited in this area. Drones may affect public enjoyment, safety and privacy, interfere with park operations, or pose a threat to wildlife. See the Drones in Parks policy. Commercial filming and photography Commercial filming or photography is prohibited without prior consent. You must apply for permission and contact the local office. Pets Pets and domestic animals (other than certified assistance animals) are not permitted. Find out which regional parks allow dog walking and see the pets in parks policy for more information.

With tourism being the largest source of income for the Snowy Monaro region, there is naturally an abundance of hotels, motels, Airbnb’s, guesthouses and other accommodation services. For the large-scale laundry needs associated with the industry, many choose Mick and Rebecca Roberts from Snowy Mountains Laundry and Linen Hire in Jindabyne for all their needs. Snowy Mountains Laundry and Linen Hire is a commercial laundry and linen hire business based in Jindabyne, specialising in hire and laundering service to hotel, hospitality and holiday accommodation. Mick and Rebecca purchased the laundry in 2014 as a logical progression from their previous business in contract cleaning. “We came into laundry from our contract cleaning business. We were looking for a contractor to do laundry and linen hire and eventually just got into it ourselves and vertically integrated laundry and linen hire into our business,� Mick said. “From there, the demand just snowballed and the laundry became our primary concern. We reinvested in new machinery and the best technology in the industry to provide the highest quality service to our customers.� Snowy Mountains Laundry and Linen Hire service not just the Snowy Monaro region but also businesses on the South Coast and even Victoria. Linen and laundry arrive at the Leesville facility via trucks that conduct regular pick-ups
and deliveries based on customer requirements. Once offloaded, it is sorted before being washed and dried by their top of the range Girbau commercial machines, then fed through an industrial scale ironing line or folding machine to be finished and sorted once again and delivered via truck to the many businesses they service. Snowy Mountains Laundry and Linen hire is a 100 percent local operation, being locally owned and operated and hiring local staff. It is through this local knowledge and ethic that Mick and Rebecca provide a more personal service that appeals to many local businesses. “We are the local alternative when it comes to laundry and linen hire service. That’s really important to a lot of our clients that we are locally owned and operated and hire local staff,� Mick said. “Our work ethic is really customer focussed and we pride ourselves on a high level of customer satisfaction, tailoring each job to the customers unique needs. Our onsite processing also allows us to offer extremely fast turn-arounds if required.� Pickup and delivery services are available throughout the year with multiple deliveries weekly to the resorts during the winter period. While Mick, Rebecca and the team service many satisfied customers they always ensure they have excess capacity to take on any new jobs as they come. So, for any and all local commercial laundry and linen hire needs, contact Mick and Rebecca on 0404144735 or at mick@snowylaundry.com.au

"-1*/& 8*-%'-08&3 8"-,4 While the Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) Main Range is most well-known for its frozen and snowy white-washed landscapes, the Spring and Summer months see the snows subside and the mountains burst into life with colour and vibrancy as the alpine wildflowers bloom. KNP is home to 21 different species of wildflower with four of them being on the endangered species

list and many unique to the alpine high-country. The Spring and Summer landscape of the Main Range is truly one of Australia’s botanical treasures, with the ever-present Yellow Billy Buttons, Mountain Daisies, Snowy White Mountain Gentian, Mountain Eyebright and many more, set against the backdrop of colourful snow gums and glacier-sculpted granite outcrops that paint the rooftop of Australia.
For those wishing to see this unique landscape of alpine wildflowers there are many tracks and walks available to choose from. Luckily, some of the best places to see the variety of mountain wildflowers KNP has to offer are along some of the national park’s most popular walking trails and hiking routes.
Thredbo to Kosciuszko summit walk
The Main Range Track loop
Mid-Summer, around mid-January is generally considered the peak time to see wildflowers and as well as providing unparalleled views of the main range, the iconic Thredbo to Kosciuszko summit walk is also a great way to see the mountains diverse wildflowers. The most accessible walk to the summit is from from the top of the Thredbo Kosciusko express chairlift. Day passes are available for the lift, costing $45 for adults and $10 for children. The walk to the summit from the lift is a 13km round trip and it is safe to put aside four to five hours for it, especially if you are wanting to really take in the alpine scenery and wildflowers.
For those more intrepid and adventurous hikers and botanists, The Main Range Track is the full Kosciuszko hiking experience. At 22km, it takes at least nine hours to complete and can easily be spread across two days for those wanting to take their time. The Main Range Track covers the Charlottes Pass to Blue Lake Walk as the first leg of the trip, heading past Headley Dam and through dazzling wildflower meadows. The Track also takes you past Seamans Hut, perhaps the most iconic of the National Park’s many huts, and incorporates the Kosciuszko summit and the staggering views over the Western Faces, showcasing the all the wildflowers and botanical wonders of this unique high-country.
Charlotte Pass to Blue Lake walk From Charlottes Pass, one can follow the Main Range Track to the Blue Lake Lookout. This beautiful 9km return walk crosses the iconic Snowy River and takes hikers up more than 500m of elevation. The 28m deep, ancient Blue Lake is Australia’s most iconic alpine glacier lake. It was formed millennia ago when glaciers, flowing from the Great Dividing Range, converged and carved out a basin in the rock. This process is visible in the spectacular cliffs behind the lake. The many species of wildflowers visible along the walk are particularly spectacular against the backdrop of the Snowy River and Blue Lake.
Perisher Valley For those who aren’t up to hiking the heights of the high-country, the Perisher Valley provides some of the most spectacular vistas of alpine meadows and wildflowers that you can drive right up to. Perisher resort itself is closed over the summer months, but if you drive around five kilometres down Kosciuszko Road past the resort, you can find parking at and just before the Spencers Creek Rest Area. The parking is situated at the convergence of Betts Creek and Spencers Creek, which flows from the Snowy River.
The valley through which Spencers Creek flows both to the north and south of the rest area provides one of the Main Range’s most iconic mountain meadow landscapes. The ridges are capped with Snow Gums and all of the iconic wildflowers such as: Yellow Billy Buttons, Stylidium Alpine Flowers, Mountain Eyebright, Mint Bush, Gentian and more can be seen from this easily accessible location.
Be prepared Weather up on the Main Range can go from baking hot to freezing cold, rainy, snowy and everything in between. If you are wanting to hike through the alpine areas, make sure you are adequately prepared with plenty of water and appropriate outerwear and gear for all conditions. For the deeper adventures into the high-country you should register your trip with NPWS at the Jindabyne Visitors centre and bring a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). Access fees apply for entry to KNP so visit the NPWS website for more info at www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/ parks/kosciuszko-national-park. Finally, while enjoying this unique and pristine part of the country, be sure to leave it no worse off than when you arrived and avoid littering or wandering excessively off-track. * Photos courtesy of Elinor Sheargold/DPIE.

performances to the website, and from December 14 voting will open for the people’s choice awards in each of the three categories. Voting and registration will be open until December 31, with artists encouraged to start working on their videos and have them ready for the voters in the near future.
The website is currently live for all street performers to get on board and register, with interest already coming in from interstate and locally since the launch.
“The talent that you see in the younger groups is just amazing, so we have primary, secondary and open categories each year,” says Allan.
“Everyone has been kind of cut off from each other this year, so it will be great to reconnect with the performers,” says Allan, who thanked the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and community grant funding from Essential Energy. “We believe this is the way to until we can get some physical festivals going again. “It’s been a really tough year for artists, so we just wanted to do something for them to show we care about what they do,” adds Allan. Once registered, performers will this year be posting a video of their

Each of these categories has cash prizes for first to fourth place, with awards for best band, best blues, country, classical, all-abilities artists and non-musical artists such as jugglers, comics and magicians. Allan adds that it is hoped the website can be used going forward as a hub for artists of all types, and for this event you can see all of those taking part by visiting the “Busker Showcase” page. To follow the progress of the event, view the artists who will be performing, or register yourself as a competitor visit https://busking.com.au to find out more on what is looking to be an exciting event for all to round out 2020.
-&"3/ 50 $"45 '03 53065 High Country Outfitters in Jindabyne are once again holding their annual fly-casting clinic throughout December at the purpose-built fly-casting pond at the Mowamba River Lodge.
Mr Ogilvie said. “It is an art, but it’s approachable. Once you get the technique down it’s just a matter of practice.�
The free sessions are hosted by High Country Outfitters owner Murray Ogilvie along with colleague and fellow die-hard fly-fisherman Anthony (Ant) Bentley. The purpose of the clinic is to provide newcomers with an introduction to the art of flyfishing.
Murray and Ant provide hands-on support to newcomers, helping them develop the base techniques of fly-casting which they can take home and improve upon. Their decades of combined experience are invaluable to prospective fly-fishermen and the free clinics provide a unique opportunity for people to get into the sport.
“It’s a wonderful way to fish. It keeps you on the move, rather than standing in the one spot, you’re walking through and following rivers discovering new places and fish. It’s a much more active approach to angling,�
The High Country Outfitters team were keen to express their appreciation to the Mowamba River Lodge for their support. The lodge sits on the banks of

It also features a purpose-built flycasting pond capable of replicating natural currents and flows, which they allow the use of for the casting clinic sessions. The first free casting clinic was a great success with everyone who attended going home with an exponential improvement to their fly-casting skills. More casting clinics will be held throughout December so to find out more about these free sessions, or to book yourself a spot in the next one, drop into High Country Outfitters at shop 8, Nuggets Crossing Jindabyne.

sleeping bags closed – and shoes covered – to prevent snakes from making themselves at home in them.
The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) warned today that all those living in rural Australia should ensure they know what to do to stay safe around snakes…and also have a snakebite first aid kit prepared and ready in case it is needed.
• Never place your hands in warrens or holes. Wear leather gloves if you have to handle debris, logs, rocks and other objects where a snake could be hiding.
“Tragically, already this snake season, we have seen a death from snakebite” RDAA President, Dr John Hall, said. “It is critical that rural Australians know how to minimise the chance of getting bitten by a snake, and what to do if they are bitten. “And for those who live on farms, work in more remote areas - or even just live in rural towns where ambulance response times can be longer due to distance - it is incredibly important to have the first aid equipment needed to initiate treatment, as it could help save your life.
• Nearly all snake bites occur on the ankles, hands and lower parts of the legs so covering these areas (closed shoes, gaiters, long-sleeved tops) will significantly reduce the possibility that a snake’s venom will enter your bloodstream (although you should always assume it has). • Snakes can still be active at night, so ensure you can see where you are walking (and what you are walking on) if you need to go outside the house once it is dark. • Make your house and yard less attractive to snakes. Remove any debris or woodpiles, cut back long grass and shrubbery, remove leaf litter and block any holes around the outside of your house that may look like a safe spot for a snake to hide.
and not the two puncture wounds you might expect. • If someone gets bitten by a snake, it is not necessary to catch or kill the snake first. The hospital can test the bite site to determine who the culprit is and treat the patient accordingly. • Never wash or cut the wound, as the hospital will use venom on the skin to identify the snake.
“Most importantly, this should include heavy crepe bandages to pressure wrap a patient’s limb, immobilise the limb and slow the flow of venom through their lymphatic system.”
• Keep pests under control. Rodents are a good food source for snakes – less rodents means less food, and less snakes. For this reason too, keep aviaries and chook pens secure, clean and free of rodents.
• Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage to the affected limb immediately, splint the limb, keep the patient still, and call an ambulance and/or go straight to hospital. Even in a remote location, you should keep the limb immobilised and stay calm and still.
Tips for staying ‘snake safe’ include the following:
• Treat all snakes as potentially dangerous, even if they’re tiny. Baby snakes are just as dangerous as adults are, if not more so.
• The bandage should be applied to the whole length of the limb, and it should be as tight as you would strap a sprained ankle.
• Treat dead snakes as dangerous, as they can still have biting reflexes and the venom can remain on the fangs long after its death.
• Don’t suck out the venom – and don’t apply a tourniquet instead of an immobilisation bandage.
• Never attempt to catch, pick up, move or kill a snake – if you see a snake, back away slowly. A snake will only bite if it feels threatened or is surprised. Call a professional if you need to have a snake relocated. • If you leave your shoes or boots outside, check them for snakes before putting them on – but don’t check them by putting your hand into them! • If you are camping, make sure you keep tents and
Treating a snakebite • Treat all suspected snakebites as life-threatening. In Australia, bites might just look like a superficial scratch
“Snakes are a critical part of our ecosystem in Australia, and they do more good than harm in rural areas – but it is important to follow all the guidelines, and ensure you are well prepared, so you and your family can stay snake safe this summer” Dr Hall said.

As one of the largest and most iconic of the many NSW National Parks, Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) boasts not only the nation’s highest mountains and vast swathes of pristine wilderness, but also dozens of the most picturesque and secluded campgrounds you’re likely to find. Here, we’ve compiled five of the most stunning places to pitch a tent in the Snowy Mountains. All of these campsites are free, but do include a $6 booking fee as well as national park entry fees. Ngarigo and Thredbo Diggings It might seem like cheating to include two campgrounds here, but separated by only 4.5km of the Alpine Way, Ngarigo Campground and Thredbo Diggings Campground share a number of similarities, both sitting on the banks of the Thredbo River at the foot of the Eastern Faces of the Kosciuszko Main Range.

With their peaceful settings, these campgrounds are ideal for groups wanting to enjoy some hiking, fishing, mountain biking or just the tranquillity of the mountains. Both include toilets, picnic tables and barbecue facilities. Blue Waterholes At the far northern end of KNP is the Blue Waterholes campgrounds, sitting on the edge of the Cooleman High Plain. It takes its name from the Cave Creek waterholes that run alongside the campsite. The towering limestone formations not only provide spectacular geological vistas and unique landscape, but also gives the water its notable bluish hue. The Clarke Gorge walking track follows Cave Creek from the campground and through the gorge allowing walkers to take in its spectacular sheer limestone cliffs. The limestone formations are also dotted with small cave systems ripe for exploring. The northern high plains of KNP are also a great area for catching a glimpse

Blue Waterholes Campground is closed during the winter months but during summer is most easily accessed from the Snowy Mountains Highway via Long Plain Road. It includes toilets, picnic tables, barbecue facilities and a carpark. Yarrangobilly Village Located in the Yarrangobilly area of Northern KNP, Yarrangobilly Village campgrounds offer riverside camping, wilderness access and is an ideal spot to camp if you’re wanting to stop on your way to or from Tumut. What makes this campsite special is its incorporation of Snowy Mountains History and Heritage, being right next to the historic Cotterill’s Cottage. The cottage was built in the 1890’s by a local grazier and was used from the 1930’s through to the 50’s by the Forestry Department, taking its name from one of the forestry Managers. The campsite also features an old 1800’s steam powered tractor and numerous information boards expanding on the heritage of the area. The Yarrangobilly Village Campground is located off the Snowy Mountains Highway roughly 65km from Adaminaby. It includes Picnic tables, barbecue facilities, a carpark and toilets. Three Mile Dam
Located just off the Link Road and only a couple of kilometres north of Selwyn Snow resort in KNP, the Three Mile Dam campground is - like most of the campsites - a great home base for any hiking, fishing or mountain-biking trip. Sitting on the banks of the Three Mile Dam. Established during the Kiandra gold-mining era, the dam provided water for sluicing operations via race lines to Kiandra. Its eastern side was part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme. Today, it’s a great place to bask in the shelter of the surrounding snow gums, and make use of the handy facilities including barbecues and picnic tables and toilets. Three Mile Dam campground is accessible during winter time and a great home base for crosscountry skiers. It is also a great place to see some wild brumbies. Pinch River Located in the far south of KNP in the Lower Snowy area just north of the Victorian Border, the Pinch River Campground sits at the confluence of the Pinch River and the iconic Snowy River. The campground sits in the middle of the vast Byadbo and Pilot Wildernesses. It’s an ideal spot for bushwalking, birdwatching, swimming or fishing. Situated more than 150km downstream from Lake Jindabyne, this is the Snowy River visitors will recognise from the legends as
it tumbles down the mountains on its way to the Victorian coast. The thick alpine bushland adding to its mythic quality. Resident kangaroos, wallabies and emus can be seen around the campground during the day, while wombats and quolls can be spotted in the evening. Facilities include picnic tables, barbecues, a carpark and toilets. Safety Weather in the alpine areas of KNP can be extreme and often fluctuate rapidly. It is important to be adequately prepared for all conditions when camping. During the summer months the bushfire danger period is in effect and campers should excercoise care with any kind of fire or incidiary device. During a total fire ban, campfires are prohibited as well as solid-fuel and liquid-fuel barbecues. Mobile phone reception is limited across much of the park. It’s worth downloading the Emergency Plus app before visiting as this will help emergency services locate your phone GPS. It is also worth filling out a trip-intention form with the NPWS information centre in Jindabyne where you can also get further information on alpine safety and protocols. When visiting KNP be sure to take any rubbish or belongings with you and leave the park and its pristine environments no worse than when you entered.

As with National Parks and wilderness areas across NSW and across the country, Kosciuszko National Park suffered extensive damages during the 2019/2020 bushfires and in the months since, extensive assessment and make-safe works have been carried out to reopen the park to the public, particularly around its extensive walking tracks and trails. With much of the northern parts of the park having been closed since last summer due to severe bushfire damage and safety concerns, more of the northern parts of KNP have been recently opened. This has also allowed more of the iconic Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) to be opened to the many intrepid hikers who take on the challenge. The AAWT is a long-distance walking trail that stretches from Tharwa in the ACT’s Namadgi National Park all the way to Baw Baw National Park in Victoria, winding over 655km through the NSW and Victorian Alpine highlands. Extension of the Victorian Alpine Walking Track, through NSW and the Australian Capital Territory. For many years bushwalking enthusiasts from the Federation of Victorian Walking Clubs and various government agencies promoted the concept of a longdistance walking track from Walhalla to Canberra. The Victorian Alpine Walking Track, developed in the 1970s, was the first stage in the dream of linking the Australian Alps with a three-state trail. Continuing the Australian Alps Walking Track through Kosciuszko National Park in NSW and Namadgi National Park in the ACT turned that dream into reality. The track follows ridges and high plains through some of the highest country in Australia. It is mostly far from any towns or other settlement. You can join the
track at many places between Walhalla and Canberra, as it joins popular walking tracks in the Baw Baw, Alpine, Kosciuszko and Namadgi national parks. You can walk the track in ten weeks, but many people choose to walk shorter sections such as those on the Baw Baw Plateau, the Bogong High Plains, and in the Jagungal Wilderness Area. While there are still some closures in Namadgi National Park, there are alternative routes available and the recent reopening of the Victorian Border means the track can be tackled more-orless in its entirety for the first time since Spring 2019. Recent make-safe works in northern KNP have also contributed to the reopening of the track. The area of the Jagungal Wilderness south of the Snowy Mountains Highway and east of the Link Rd, Kings Cross Rd and Goats Ridge Rd have been reopened. This means the AAWT is now open between Cowombat flat and Oldfields Hut. While closures are still in place for the sections of the track that go through Namadgi National Park in the ACT, an alternate route is available via the Bicentennial National Trail from Oldfields Hut to Tharwa. While areas have been reopened, it is still important to be aware of risks when visiting fire-affected areas. Trees and branches can still fall at any time and potentially block tracks and trails. Rock slopes may
be more unstable than usual. Infrastructure such as huts, barriers, fences or rock-climbing bolts can be damaged. Creeks can flood more quickly if riparian vegetation is missing and water quality can be affected by an increase in ash and sediment. Last summer’s bushfires tore through vast swathes of Kosciuszko National Park and NPWS are working to restore public access as quickly as possible, asking the public to remain patient in the meantime.

The work to rebuild Selwyn Snow Resort is underway, with the announcement that Selwyn Snow Resort has signed a contract with Doppelmayr Australia Pty Ltd for the upgrade of the New Chum Double Chair. The New Chum chairlift was extensively damaged in the January 2020 bushfires, which saw most of the resort’s facilities destroyed. Angela Murdoch, General Manager Snow Resorts for the Blyton Group said, “New Chum is one of the signature lifts for Selwyn Snow Resort and thousands of skiers and boarders have taken their first turns
using this lift. These upgrades will see New Chum continue to be a key feature of the resort for years to come”. Kevin Blyton, Chairman of Selwyn Snow Resort said “this investment is the first stage of the rebuilding of Selwyn Snow Resort and demonstrates the Blyton Group’s commitment to the resort. I am pleased that the contract has gone to a local Snowy Mountains company just like us. Shaun Turner, General Manager of Doppelmayr Australia said “We are pleased to be involved with the
rebuild of Selwyn Snow Resort and look forward to working with the Selwyn team this summer. Our team and the work we’re undertaking will ensure that New Chum is a signature lift for visitors to learn to ski and board on”. The proposed works to the New Chum chairlift include a full conversion of all existing operating components to Doppelmayr, replacement chairs, upgraded towers, a new Variable Speed Drive to control the lift speed to assist guests, as well as the expansion and upgrade of the Load and Unload Platforms.

Delegate Showground. The name “Delegate” is a derivative of an Aboriginal word meaning “one big hill”, and many aboriginal tribes roamed the district, most moving to nearby coastal areas during the harsh Monaro winter. In 1826 Robert Campbell of Duntroon fame acquired a large area of land ranging from Canberra to Delegate, and in 1827 his daughter, Sophia Campbell took possession of a portion of the land now known as Delegate Station. A shepherd’s hut was built on the land in the 1840s, and this building was to be painstakingly restored in 1988 as a Bicentennial project, becoming the much loved and well known Early Settlers Hut. Through marriage, the property was passed down to John and Arthur Jeffreys, and in 1894 John’s son Arthur came to Australia, being installed as

The present large brick homestead was built in 1906, and in 1985 most of the Station was split up and sold after being in the same family for over a century and a half. Back to the earlier years, the Polish explorer, Dr John Lhotsky explored the Delegate area in 1834 and his writings enticed the more adventurous in the colony to venture down south. He referred to the town as “Dziliket”. Records show that the first white settlement was a small village where the property ‘Bendolba’ is now situated, about 4kms from Delegate. This village was known as Hayden Park. There was a store and post office in 1858, and a hotel there, as well as several dwellings. The census of 1848 showed that there were eight “free” and one “bond” residents at Hayden Park.

The township of Delegate was laid out a short distance from the Delegate Station homestead, town lots being auctioned on February 1, 1882, but the first house on this site was erected in 1864. Delegate itself was proclaimed a village on March 20, 1885, and in 1886 the first store/post office and telegraph office was built. This was in a residence owned by Charlotte Katherine Severn. Over the years several schools, churches and hospitals would be built, including the first church built on the Monaro, which was erected in what is now the Delegate Cemetery. A big step forward in Delegate was the turning on of electricity in 1932. The power was generated by a Crossley Air Start Diesel engine which was run by a local garage man, Geoff Stewart between the hours of 5pm and 11pm

At that time Victoria Parade was a rutted dirt track known as the Back Lane. These men turned it into a street. In the 1950s the reforming of the main street to bitumen took place, at the same time water was laid on in the township, while sewerage was connected in 1991. Businesses have come and gone, but Delegate has had many that may surprise those visiting the quiet village today, including a picture theatre, clothing stores and dry cleaner, a visiting dentist and even a taxi service.

*/%*(&/064 )*4503: A traditional Ngarigo campground on the banks of the Delegate River marks a significant cultural site for Aboriginal people, both historically and presently. It also marks the location of the Delegate Aboriginal Reserve. Aboriginal Reserves were areas of land indigenous Australians were forced to live on in accordance with laws enforced by the British in their control of the Australian colonies. Situated on grazing land roughly three kilometres outside the town itself, the site was first gazetted by Henry Copeland of the Department of Crown Lands, Sydney on June 11, 1892.

recorded how Aboriginal people who lived nearby told of the Bundian Pass.
Coming down from the tablelands, the way follows a track and road through Wallendibby and Corrowong towards Delegate. The route follows the Craigie and Mila roads, then the shortcut road to the Monaro Highway past various yamfields. A further 1.5km beside the highway are the old Bondi Springs.
Historical records were used to identify the correlating terrain and crosschecked by evidence such as accessibility, resources, scarred trees and other Aboriginal objects. Through the extremely rugged country the route followed the only passable way along ridgelines and through gaps.
At the foot of the Bundian Pass there is evidence of shared history in the old crossings made by bullockies from Nungatta.
Large gatherings of Aboriginal people occurred in the high country during the summer at the time when the Bogong moths were in season. The gatherings were an essential part of Aboriginal cultural life and the moths ensured that there was sufficient food for the numbers gathered.
A vital part of our indigenous history is the Bundian Way, a shared history pathway between Targangal (Kosciuszko) and Bilgalera (Fisheries Beach) via Delegate. It connects the highest part of the continent and the coast via an ancient Aboriginal walking route that brought together the people of the greater region, most notably for ceremonies associated with whaling in springtime and moth hunting during summer. The Bundian Way crosses the Snowy River, passing through beautiful rugged country, with the influence of the old land management still obvious in its Aboriginal landscapes. It follows the 265km walking route that was the easiest path from the Monaro
The Bundian Way’s recognition is inspired by Chief Protector of Aborigines, G A Robinson’s story of Al.mil.gong, who walked all the way from Omeo to present his new corroboree to his kin at Bilgalera on August 14, 1844. When renowned geologist W B Clarke followed a similar route in 1852 he

about half of whom he describes as “Maneroo” who had walked from as far afield as places around Delegate and Cooma. People walked the Bundian pathway not just to attend a corroboree or gathering to access a particular food supply but for practical, ceremonial and educational purposes: to maintain kinship ties, conduct business and trade, share knowledge and resources or make alliances and settle disputes. When white settlers and explorers moved into the area they were shown the route by Aboriginal guides; this assistance helped settlers to find places to bring their cattle and where to establish homesteads. Today part of the Bundian Way is still used as a travelling stock route. The Eden Aboriginal Land Council has been working on developing the Bundian Way’s potential as an educational walking route.

“Come Love” owned by Bendoc Park and Co and consisted of a main shaft 173 feet deep. This yielded 606 oz. of gold between April 1869 and October 1871.
Delegate and district’s early history cannot be written without mention of gold mining in the area, and the many who came as part of the gold rush.
The later “Victoria Star” mine at Bendoc was a large operation, employing 50 and 60 men, and functioning right up until 1938.
Gold reefs were first discovered in the region in the 1850s, and many small mines were established around the Bendoc area.
This mine was 330 feet deep, having tunnels running north and south, and was first operated by steam power, later by electricity.
Realising the need for food and shelter for the miners, Hamilton Reed built the first Commercial Hotel on a site opposite where the present hotel now stands in Bendoc.
A big part of the rush were the Chinese gold seekers who came to the area in large numbers during the 1860s, with the village of Craigie, north east of Delegate, becoming known as Chinatown.
In 1867 Jack Nichol was appointed mining registrar and retained the position until early 1900. Bendoc was a gazetted town in 1869, 16 years before Delegate, and in the year 1890 court was held in Bendoc every week. The principal mine in the area was the

gold, diverting the water to races to enable them to search the riverbeds for the precious metal. They worked tirelessly, and according to local folklore, much of the gold they obtained was sent home to China. However it is recorded that Chinese were selling gold to the Commercial Banking Company in Delegate on a

regular basis. It appears the seekers sold to local Chinese store owners in their nearest village, who in turn sold it to the bank. An example of the hard work of the Chinese still remains in the area, that being the Chinese Tunnel at Bendoc which was cut through solid rock to change the course of the river.
During the gold rush years, the wider Bendoc region boasted a population of around 500, with many of the border area settlements far larger than today.
On the NSW side of the border there were schools at Woodglen, Tombong and Craigie, as well as the Delegate Public School and Catholic School.
Up until the 1950s, and later in some instances, there were many small schools in the border area, including on the Victorian side of the border in places like Lower Bendoc, Haydens Bog, North Bendoc, Bendoc, Delegate River, Cabanandra, Bonang, Bonang West and Tubbut.
Most of the small settlements had post offices and other facilities. An example is Delegate River which had a hotel close to where the tavern now stands, as well as a church and a butter factory. Many would be surprised to learn that Delegate River had enough families to sustain two schools.

"3$)*5&$563& While businesses have come and gone, Delegate’s buildings and community spaces give a glimpse into its past, with the following being just a few of the significant historic places around the town – Early Settlers Hut The Delegate Early Settlers Hut was built as a Bicentennial project in 1988, and has attracted thousands of visitors. The building is not only of local significance, but has associations going back to the earliest establishment of European settlement in the colony. It is the type of building erected on the squattages in the mid 1840s when squatters were first given some form of permanent residence. Historical facts point to the hut being used originally as a Manager’s residence for Delegate Station, and when first constructed was not as large as is seen today. The building is of solid slab construction, predominantly of stringy bark with some cedar, with hand hewn ground and wall plates and in ground posts. The roof is shingled with locally split stringy bark shingles over the originals. Churches and convents The St Philip’s Anglican Church was constructed in 1890 and consecrated in 1885. The original church was in what is now the Delegate Cemetery, where a small building has been erected to mark the spot of the first place of worship. The historic St Andrew’s Church building was erected in 1878 and originally had a shingle roof which was replaced in 1912. The church is no longer consecrated but is kept in good condition by caretakers. The first St Joseph’s convent was built in Craigie Street in 1921. The Delegate Multi Purpose Service is now on this site. The second convent was purchased in 1927 from Dr Schalit. It was the doctor’s residence and he had built a small building at the rear which was used as a Nursing Centre with the local midwives attending births there. The original wooden St Joseph’s Church structure was built in 1877 and the present brick building was erected in 1918. In the early days the Sisters of St Joseph taught school in the church building until the school building adjacent to the church was built.
Post Office Built in 1872 the Post office at that time had 52 postal addresses to deliver to, and amongst the occupations listed were shepherd, boot maker, stockman, miner, storekeeper, teacher, carpenter and squatter. The list included a Thomas Johnson, innkeeper with the address “Chinatown�, referring to Craigie. Police Station One of the most historically important buildings in Delegate is the former Court House and Police Station, a single storey building erected in two stages, the first being completed in 1890 and the second in 1920. A builder named Scarfe built the original Police Station, which was also used as a jail, with cells at the rear of the building. There were also blocks of land in the town reserved for the Police horses.
The Police Station and former courthouse and jail is one of the most significant historical buildings in Delegate.
School of Arts The School of Arts burnt down and was rebuilt in 1899 and is the hub for social occasions in the town. It has a woodwork room, a stage for concerts, a War Museum and a local History Room. It also houses a hairdresser once a week, and at present is being used for badminton and gymnastics. Bank and RTC The Rural Transaction Centre is housed in what was the original Commercial Banking Company of Sydney building, which was built in 1884 and opened in February of 1885. As well as serving the banking needs of farmers and townsfolk, the bank did a roaring trade in gold supplied by the large Chinese population which was in the area at the time.
Delegate Early Settlers Hut, the original kitchen of which was built in the 1840s.
After the CBC was closed, the building housed the National Australia Bank, then Piccol Credit Union, then finally the Australian Credit Union. Now owned by the Delegate Progress Association, the building provides office services, and houses the Bundian Way Gallery and Borderline Gallery, all run by volunteers. The Delegate Show and Sports Grounds The showground is used for campdrafts, pony club, football and other sporting events, and once a year for the Annual Delegate Show. The Delegate Show was first held in 1907, and with the exception of once occasion during the war, has been held continuously since.

450$, 45"5*0/ Nutrien Ag Solutions is the only rural “Stock & Station” outlet in Delegate. The company, known by many different names over the years, has served Delegate and border district since the 1890s. Macarthur & Co, based in Bairnsdale, opened the first office in the building pictured, known fondly as the “Old Mart”, in 1893. Back then regular livestock auctions were held in the yards, long since demolished, located on the block next door. The April annual calf sale and January annual prime lamb circuit sale were social highlights, and the stock keenly sought by buyers from all eastern states including Tasmania and South Australia. Over the years the company has sold everything from milking machines to paint, ploughs and chainsaws. The name may be new, but Nutrien Ag Solutions is an integral part of the Australian agricultural industry, and have retained the well known and respected Dalgety name and distinct logo on their range of house brand animal health products.
Many locals still refer to the business as Dalgety’s and with good reason. Macarthur & Co was taken over by the long-established English pastoral house Dalgety & Co in the late 1940s. They had a number of names; Dalgety NZ Loan, Dalgety Winchcombe Carson, Dalgety Farmers and Dalgety Delegate when owned by local identity Scrub Crotty, Wesfarmers Dalgety and then Wesfarmers, followed by Landmark in 2005, at that time owned by Phil and Lisa Cottrell who also owned the Bombala branch. The tradition of employing locals started back in 1893 with George Reed Snr in charge followed by his son, George and then his brother, Charlie. George Jnr’s son Barry worked as a stockman for many years, as did Scrub Crotty before he became the proprietor, Scrub’s son Greg (Tommy) also worked in the business.
With its steel frame, aluminium framed front glass windows with rubber seals and “trimdeck” type cladding, the building would have been cutting edge in the early 1970s. The site was a blacksmiths before that and old horse shoes can still be found in the back yard. Over many years the business has adapted to meet the specific needs of local farmers and Nutrien Ag Solutions are proud to carry the tradition forward into the future, whatever the future may be!
Natalie Armstrong worked in accounts for many years followed by Yvonne Richardson. Justin Lewis was another long-term local employee. Ian Sellers started in 2007 and is currently the only full-time employee that is based in Delegate. The building that now houses Nutrien was built and fitted out by Dalgety’s in 1974.

$055"(& )041*5"A committee was formed in 1907 to consider establishing a cottage hospital at Delegate. As a government subsidy was not forthcoming, a small amount of money was raised and a fund set up. It was not until July 1919 that the movement re-opened and a further 508 pounds was raised. Plans were drawn up, and with Delegate Station having donated the site, the project was ready to go. The Delegate Cottage Hospital was built solely with funds from public subscription in 1926, and was run by a local board until the 1950s when the State Government took it over.
had a large area of wooden landing inside and out to facilitate the unloading of trucks by hand or with a bag trolley. When forklifts were used these were removed.
However, with no promise of government assistance, the movement marked time until 1925 when another public meeting was called to test the feelings of residents.
Now Nutrien Ag Solutions, the stock and station outlet has been serving Delegate and the border district since the 1890s, starting out in the “Old Mart” in 1893.
In December 1925, with the original sum raised plus the interest accrued being 960 pounds, and a further 35 pounds raised, a committee was elected to carry out the establishment of the Delegate Cottage Hospital. In June 1926 the foundation stone of the hospital was laid, the total funds held at that date being 1950 pounds. The hospital continued to be supported by the public, with donations in kind as well as cash donations, until the 1950s when the State Government agreed to take over the running of the hospital. In 1988 the Delegate Cottage Hospital closed and patients and staff moved to the new Multi Purpose Service in Craigie Street.
Rugby League was also a big draw card for local crowds, especially when Delegate played Bombala, with matches always very competitive with parochial supporters.
41035 Golf - Delegate had golfers more than 100 years ago; their course was on the empty paddock on the outskirts of town, and their clubhouse the local pub.
In the late 70s Delegate teams folded through lack of numbers and Delegate players joined with the old enemy, Bombala.
After a break during the war, golfing numbers grew and they moved to another course in 1946 with a new clubhouse on the Craigie Road, a great number of players taking part. They moved to the present site on Bombala Road in 1973.
Schoolboys football was very popular as both schools had big attendance; more than 90 children at the public school and more than 50 at the convent, as well as small schools at Woodglen and across the border.
Tennis goes back a long way in Delegate, with numbers growing in the 1960s, when extra courts were added and a new clubhouse built.
Cricket was once very popular, both before and after WWII, with Delegate, Delegate River, Bendoc and Mila fielding sides. Families followed their teams and enjoyed a great day out.
In the 60s and 70s a big competition was run, comprising teams in three grades of players taking part from over the border and Bombala as well as Delegate.
While hockey was a popular sport of the past, swimming has always been much loved, and today badminton and even gymnastics have their place in Delegate.
Local Rugby League matches were always popular, especially when Delegate played Bombala.

.&/ '30. 4/08: 3*7&3 ."3$) A defining moment in Delegate’s history was the 1916 Men from Snowy River WWI Recruitment March, and that key event has been the focus of a monument in the town, anniversary celebrations, and several reenactments. Answering the call from the Prime Minister for every available man to replace heavy losses in Gallipoli and France, 12 men left Delegate on January 6, 1916 on a recruitment march to Goulburn. The 12 brave men who set out from Delegate for the long trek to Goulburn on January 6, 1916, gathering recruits for WWI along the way.
It was one of the renowned “snowball marches”, stopping at towns and villages along the way to gather more men, and it arrived in Goulburn with 144 brave recruits. Delegate was the starting point, and the march took in the larger towns of the Monaro, as well as small villages along the way, with recruits also travelling up from nearby coastal areas to join the Snowy River Men. “Feelings of patriotism were running high in the community and reflected in the press at that time,” says local historian, Natalie Armstrong, who authored a book on the march. “Australia did not have conscription, but nevertheless there was relentless pressure on men to join the army.”
The handmade flag which the men so proudly bore from Delegate to Goulburn was presented by the Hon A Chapman at the 1916 send-off and can now be found in the Australian War Memorial.
The idea of Delegate being part of the “snowball march” campaign eventuated with the return home of Private William Dudley, who after being injured in Gallipoli, urged the young men at his homecoming to enlist. With 23 year old Will Baragry jumping on stage crying “Who will join me?”, a planning committee was soon established, and a huge effort of communication, preparation and fundraising took place across the wider district. An extravagant and highly attended sendoff was held the night before the marchers left Delegate, and among other formalities the men were presented with a hand made banner by the Hon. Austin Chapman. The departure itself was also illustrious, with Delegate’s main street festooned in red, white and blue, the Bombala Band playing and of course speeches made and special items presented before the final goodbyes were made outside the School of Arts.
The original Men From Snowy River, who had started the march in Delegate, at their destination of Goulburn, 200 miles later.
The roll was called and these names are now a critical part of Delegate’s history – W
Baragry, E Baragry, J Hayden, J Matthews, C Stokes, J Morrison, J Smith, F Clarke, R Clarke, W Mustard, H Campbell and A Campbell. They were accompanied by Piper Swadling and Bugler Benson. Robert Cameron of “Pineliegh”, Delegate wrote in his journal of the march’s commencement – “The greatest day that Delegate ever witnessed. Hundreds of people crowded the street to see the Snowy River Recruits off. Three arches were erected over the culverts in the street and were draped with flags and there were also ropes from one side of the street to the other with dozens of flags attached”. Despite heavy rain, the marchers had many followers to the first stop at the Liddle home, “Cometville”, three miles out of town, and another bright reception met them for the overnight stay at Craigie. Great preparations were made in almost every town and hamlet along the way to welcome and entertain the men, and they received generous hospitality as they trekked all the way to Goulburn, both on foot and by car or truck. Despite worrying news from the war, morale was kept high with frequent playing from Piper Swadling and a march song written specifically for the Men from Snowy River. The 200 mile march was concluded in heavy rain, just as it had started in Delegate, and the men, in good spirits, were warmly welcomed by the mayor of Goulburn, and later the community. They were to undergo several months of training, and by September 3, 1916 the men were at last ready to be entrained to Sydney for embarkation, again being sent off with great warmth and ceremony from Goulburn. They sailed for the UK from Sydney on September 4, 1916, and after further training on Salisbury Plains, reached their eventual destination of France in December where they joined the 55th Battalion at the Front. While their trek had started as such a brave adventure, the grim realities of war were soon realised, and across a series of battles and horror conditions, 39 of the 144 Men from Snowy River were killed in action, and over half suffered serious injury. Of the 12 who left Delegate on January 6, 1916, three were killed in battle, five were injured in battle, and two died of illness, one sadly before he could even embark overseas. The Men from Snowy River were farmers, shearers, miners, teachers, labourers, farmhands, bank clerks; they came from all walks of life, and were brave men all.

Born at Ballarat in Victoria, Hilda studied art at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School in Melbourne under Frederick McCubbin. She moved to Europe to further her art, and lived in both France and England where during WWI she married George Matson Nicholas, an Australian Army Major. Sadly, after a brief honeymoon, Major Nicholas returned to the Front where he was killed. Hilda had also lost her sister and mother in a short space of years. Hilda returned to Australia in 1919 and lived in Sydney, holding exhibitions

She returned to Australia in 1926, and after visiting the Southern Monaro for the second time, she married Edgar Wright, a grazier who owned a property called “Knockalong” at Tombong near Delegate. With a private studio built to continue her art, it was here that Hilda produced some of her best works, among them paintings of friends, family and local people in their surrounds. Hilda lived happily in Tombong, continuing her painting until her death in 1961. She had one son, Rix, who was a well known sculptor in the area, while one of her grandchildren, Bronwyn, lives on the site of the original “Knockalong” homestead, where the original studio still stands.

5)& "6453*"/ 3&-0$"5&4 If it is big, rich and hearty meals you are after then you can’t look past the Austrian Restaurant newly located in the Town Centre, Jindabyne. Serving authentic Austrian and German food, The Austrian relocated from the Kookaburra Lodge on Clyde Street into a larger premises allowing them to serve more customers and restaurant owner and head chef, Hans Stoehr couldn’t be happier with the response so far. “Since our first opening weekend after relocating we have had a great response with tables booking up fast,” Hans said. “Our aim here at The Austrian is to transition all customers and make them feel like they are leaving Australia and landing in Austria with our delicious food, atmosphere and overall feel of our restaurant,” he said. The Austrian’s signature dish is the traditional pork knuckle, a perfect mix of crunchy crackling and tender meat, this dish is the most popular amongst customers. If a pork knuckle is not your style try the array of Austrian cuisine varieties by diving into the Goulash, German sausages, fresh chicken schnitzel or for a starter try the crumbed camembert or Langos (Austrian garlic bread). Immerse yourself in the German music scene with live music while enjoying the imported Austrian and German alcohol
choices from beer, wine and soft drinks on the deck overlooking the spectacular views of Lake Jindabyne. All about looking after the locals, Hans opened The Austrian to give locals and visitors the option to try something different. “There is a real ambience about the place and we pay real personal attention to every table and strive to produce great authentic German and Austrian food,” Hans said. Thanks to the larger premises The Austrian can now offer bookings for special functions and offer outdoor seating on deck on those beautiful summer nights. Hans says thanks to the Kookabura Lodge, its first restaurant premises, for allowing the restaurant to grow over the last two years and now looks forward to the future of the restaurant its new and bigger location in the Town Centre. Open, 5pm to 9pm, 7 days a week, with lunch hours beginning soon. Bookings in advance are encouraged to avoid disappointment as there is limited seating due to Covid-19. Pre-order of the pork knuckle must also be made in advance as cooking the perfect pork knuckle can take up to 45 minutes.

The committee have decided to reschedule the event and it will now be held on Saturday, April 3 2021! This is great news for the community as it will mean you can come spend Easter

The new section of the store includes a wealth of outdoor supplies such as tents, eskys outerwear and more. The focus however is undeniably on mountain bikes and according to Rhythm founder and owner Mick Klima, they were inspired to enter the mountain biking scene due to the
impacts of Covid-19 on the industry as well as the growing mountain bike scene in the snowy mountains. “The inspiration for this new direction for the store came from a number of fronts,” Rhythm founder and owner Mick Klima said. “The recent upgrade of the Mt Gladstone mountain bike track undoubtedly was one factor, but also the impact of covid, not just for us, but for the mountain-bike industry as a whole. The pandemic has placed a lot
“As well as this, the pandemic has also resulted in a lot of people who would usually be travelling north with the seasons being stuck here in lockdown, and they’re looking for something to do over the summer months. “We’re really excited about this new direction and it’s the proud result of a collaboration between all our staff here.” The new section is at the front of the store in what would be the entrance to the ski hire area in the winter time. The mountain bike section features dual-suspension bikes and hard-tail mountain bikes from reputable brands
Treat yourself with and
like Trek and Kona and even town bike and e-bikes as well. They are focused on recycling and repairs, so if you have an old bike that needs fixing up, you can take it into the store where the in-shop bike mechanics can bring it back to life. The bike section also features all you could want in the way of bike parts and accessories, including everything from helmets and protective gear to car accessories, cleaning and maintenance and much more. The outdoor section includes tents, sleeping bags, camping accessories, cookware and utensils, outerwear, backpacks and more.

food trail
(063.&5 $0"45
Our region has wonderful produce, some of the best in Australia. To date, we haven’t taken full advantage of the opportunities it provides because we are very much hidden. To change this, the Gourmet Coast Food Trail is being established, led by Fiona Kotvojs, Greg Lissaman and Lucy Wilson. We are working to raise the profile of this region so that it becomes known for its food (including beverages). Through this, we will increase the number of tourists visiting the region outside summer, supporting local business and ultimately job opportunities. We are also working to increase the return that producers receive for their quality produce, helping our local farmers and fishers. To date, we have held a series of workshops for interested businesses in Merimbula, Bega and Narooma. Fiona Kotvojs successfully obtained a grant from Food Innovation Australia (an industry led, Federal government funded initiative to collaboratively fuel growth throughout the food and
agribusiness industry) which is being used to assist establish the food trail. As part of this, 10 local businesses are being supported to develop or refine quality food related products and experiences that will form the base of the trail. The first product workshop was held this week in Bermagui. Businesses from Moruya to Eden and Nimmitabel attended. The businesses represent the diversity of produce we have available: cheese and other dairy, coffee, fruit, gin, oysters, smoked meats, truffles, vegetables and wine. They provide a huge range of food related experiences: schools in making cheese and gin, high tea, tastings, truffle hunts and long-table lunch and dinners. The work will continue and the Gourmet Coast Food Trail will be launched in April 2021. The website will be live, suggesting itineraries to help visitors plan their holiday to our region and supporting visitors develop their own itinerary.
Lucy Wilson (Breakfast Creek Vineyard and committee member); Diane & Grant Walker (Royal Arms); Karen Lott (Sprout Eden); Cecilia Mattews (Tilba Real Dairy); Matthew Hatcher (Guerrilla Roasters); Megan Payne (Milford Acres Farm); Gavin Hughes & Karen Touchie (Stoney Creek Distillery); Sue McIntyre (Broadwater oysters); Fiona Kotvojs (Gulaga Gold and committee member); Rose Wright (our trainer from Regionality). Many of the 60 businesses who have expressed their interest in, and support for, this trail will be identified on the trail. Businesses who have not yet expressed interest can continue to do so by contacting Fiona Kotvojs (fiona@
kurrajonghill.com.au or 0448 453 422). We all look forward to this trail being launched and better showcasing the amazing foods and experiences available locally.

5)3&%#0 46..&3 Thredbo was buzzing for its opening weekend with guests from all over the country excited to get out into the great outdoors this summer. The resort officially opened for hiking and mountain biking on November 21 and sold out of day passes for the entire weekend. “Opening weekend was a huge success with people from all over the country travelling here to explore
our mountain bike trails and take a hike in the Snowy Mountains. Everyone I spoke to was so happy to get out into nature with the family and take advantage of the incredible attractions we have on offer in our own backyard,� said Thredbo General Manager Stuart Diver. Thredbo offers Australia’s only summer long chairlift access with 34-kilometres of mountain bike trails to explore. Mr Diver said this year was a particularly
exciting time for the resort with Thredbo Mountain Bike Park celebrating 30 Years of Gravity. “We’re so pleased to celebrate three decades of mountain biking here in Thredbo. Each year the sport continues to grow and we see more and more people coming here to ride for the first time. It’s wonderful to see people of all ages and abilities learning how to mountain bike and even better seeing the satisfaction on their faces when they progress to more challenging

Thredbo Mountain Bike Business Manager Tim Windshuttle said the mountain operations team had been working hard to get everything ready to go for a jam-packed summer of riding with a whole range of upgrades this season. “This year we’ve got more jumps and features to hit in the Valley Terminal Park and Little Beauty Jumps
Park. The Gunbarrel Express chair will be open more often including every weekend and throughout school holidays plus we’re offering MTB School Holiday Camps and an MTB Development Squad for the first time,” Mr Windshuttle said. Hiking attracts thousands of outdoor lovers to Thredbo each season and the resort anticipates that this year the activity will be even more popular with guests keen to get out into wide open spaces.
Thredbo offers a unique opportunity to hike Australia’s highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko. The bucket list hike is suitable for all ages and abilities and takes between 4-6 hours. The resort is continuing to operate under its COVID-19 operating plan developed under the advice of the NSW Department of Health. The plan includes a range of social distancing, hygiene and sanitisation measures across all resort operations.

Berridale sits in the heart of the Snowy Monaro, centrally located in the middle of three gateways, south to the snowfields, north to Canberra and east to the coast. A unique landscape of granite boulders scattered across the rolling Monaro plains, the ever changing colours of towering poplars line the streets of a charming and picturesque village that has everything... Whether you are on your way to the alpine snowfields or taking a scenic drive through to the coast, experience a warm township with plenty of atmosphere and heart. Berridale is sometimes known as the ‘Crossroads of the Snowy’. In the 1850s when miners and prospectors were making their way to the goldfields at Adaminaby and Kiandra from the port at Twofold Bay (Eden as it is called today) they had to pass through the tiny village and hence the name. Berridale is a small service town which lies on the main road between Cooma and the snowfields of Thredbo and Perisher Valley. It is 860 metres above sea level . Berridale lies between Cooma (33km away) and Jindabyne (24km away) and is 432 km southwest of Sydney. William Oliver, who settled the area in the early 1860s and the Berridale Inn in 1863, named the town after his home in Scotland. The Poplar Drive The main attraction of the town is the genuinely impressive poplar drive which, in autumn, has one of the finest stands of yellowing poplars anywhere in the Snowy Mountains. It has been modified in recent years, as age has taken its toll on some of the trees, but new plantings have taken place. It is a reminder that the early settlers loved the trees of England and Scotland. A in Lions Park records that in 2007: “Snowy River Shire Council commemorates local children who in the 1930s planted poplar trees lining Berridale’s main thoroughfare. Under
5)& 4/081045
the tutelage of Mr G J Colditz, Berridale Public School students and other local children cultivated, planted and nurtured many of the established trees you will see in this area.” It lists a total of 67 children. Berridale Public School Located in Oliver Street, the old schoolhouse dates from 1883 and is listed by the National Trust. Although the buildings have had extensions it is still possible to see the essence of a small country school at the end of the nineteenth century. Of particular interest is the gabled roof and the unusual curved corrugated iron roof. They are actually two separate buildings which have been joined together. Aitchison Cottage Very much a work in progress, Aitchison Cottage is being restored and, when it is completed, it will lay reasonable claim to being a building which started its life in the 1830s when a blacksmith first arrived in the settlement of Berridale. It was originally a slab hut but over the years it evolved into a comfortable small house which was occupied by the Aitchison family until the death of Mary Aitchison in 1954. From 1954 to 1983 the cottage was used as a boarding house. It was then sold to the Snowy River Shire Council. At the moment it is being restored by the volunteer work of the Aitchison Cottage Steering Committee. It is located behind the Lions Park with access from Jindabyne Road.

will go through the town of Berridale and shortly after find the Coolamatong Snowy Mountains Country Golf Club, another 18-hole grass green course.
Visitors are welcome at all Clubs and are ready to be played seven days a week.
This Club originated in 1952 and along with Cooma has become the premier course of the region, with 18 challenging holes, scenic views, and quality greens and fairways.
The Cooma Golf Club is located just three kilometres outside Cooma on the Kosciuszko Road, is an 18-hole course with a rich history in the sporting identity of the region. Established in 1903, the course has continued to improve thanks to hard working volunteers over the years, and with the recent rainfall the dams are full and fairways looking as green as they have in some time.
This course also charges $20 a round, with honesty boxes on the 1st and 10th tees and EFTPOS available inside at the Clubhouse to pay green fees. The Clubhouse is licensed, as is their venue in the town of Berridale, which provides food and drink to patrons.
The green fees are $20, with EFTPOS available at the pro shop, as well as an honesty box on the walk to the first tee.
This facility is located on the Jindabyne Road, and can be seen on the left if you’re coming back from the course.
If you venture further along the Kosciuszko Road you
If you fancy a different challenge, the southern Monaro
towns of Bombala and Delegate each have 18-hole sand green courses. Bombala is a unique and hilly course located on the Gunningrach Road, with a view over the town from the Clubhouse. This Club charges just $10 for a round, as does Delegate, with these two courses being the only two sand green, 18-hole courses in the ACT/Monaro District. The Delegate course is located just north of the town, and is flatter and wider than Bombala, but still provides a unique challenge for all players. If alpine golf is what you desire, the course at Thredbo is ready to play. With nine-holes with grass greens, Thredbo has the highest elevation of any golf course in Australia at 1,420 metres above sea level.

If you wish to keep going over the mountains call in at the Khancoban course. This 9-holer has grass greens and is open for social play every day, with an honesty box available and a range of plant and wildlife around the course. If you are travelling along the Snowy Mountains Highway, you will find courses firstly at Adaminaby and then at Talbingo. Adaminaby is a sand green course, with nine holes on offer and $10 green fees. The fairways are generous and greens well kept, with the thick rough to be avoided at all costs.
Talbingo is a scenic nine-hole course with grass greens and views of the Jounama Dams and surrounding mountains. An honesty box can be found on the first tee if the clubhouse isn’t open. The Club offers refreshments and meals after your round at the Clubhouse.

5)& 0/ 5)& 53065 The first ever Snowy Trout Challenge has now been underway since October and has so far seen over 100 tagged trout caught and thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes won. Not only that, but with more than four months of the challenge still to go, three quarters of the released tagged trout are still waiting to be caught
and some of the biggest and best prizes yet to be won. Held over six months from October 2020 to April 2021, the Snowy Trout Challenge was organised by the Eucumbene and Adaminaby Chambers of Commerce alongside the Gaden and Eucumbene Trout Hatcheries. The comp has received a huge amount
of support and sponsorships, providing thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Fish have been released at Lake Jindabyne, Lake Eucumbene, Lake Crackenback, Lake Williams in Nimmitabel and Cooma Weir and the Bombala River. Each tagged trout will carry a prize, ranging from ‘cash catches’ to holiday packages, products and services from local Snowy Mountains businesses and much more. So far, none of the fish in Cooma or Bombala have been caught, so local anglers don’t have to travel far to try their luck. One of the top prize fish - a rainbow trout with a $4,500 cash prize tag attached, generously donated by Snowy Hydro - was recently caught at Lake Eucumbene by Canberra angler Colin Dopson. Colin said he felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory with his winning ticket, catching the fish, but admitted it took him a while to realise he’d caught a prize fish.

donated by Snowy Hydro as well as five $200 merchandise packs. The other $4.5k trout is still swimming around somewhere in Lake Jindabyne as at the writing of this article so Jindy anglers should be on the look out for pink tags on their fish to win big. The trout will be tagged with an easily identifiable 9cm pink tag that will also include the relevant email for anglers to send the catch info to. One prize will be awarded per tag with a maximum of three prizes per entrant. To claim the prize, eligible entrants must take the following steps at the time the fish is caught:
• Affordable accommodation • Open all year • Owners on site
- Record the location and date that the fish was caught

- Measure the length of the fish - Photograph the fish with tag still in place - Remove the Pink Tag by cutting it off with a sharp knife or scissors and retain the Pink Tag “It wasn’t until I took the fish home and started cleaning it that I realised it had one of those pink tags on it,” Colin said. “I sent it to my buddy who knew about the competition, thinking I was maybe going to win like a tackle box or something. But he explained to me ‘mate you’ve actually won a pretty serious prize here.’” Not only that, but Colin actually caught the fish at the same spot on the banks of the Eucumbene River that he and his wife camped to celebrate their honeymoon, so it is clearly a very auspicious spot. Colins $4.5k trout was one of two
- Email the promoters at the email address on the Pink Tag to report your catch, the location, date and fish size. Prizes will only be awarded for fish caught using legal recreational fishing equipment and in compliance with current NSW fishing regulations. Fish caught in the promotion may be kept or released but the Pink Tag must be removed if they are released. It is hoped that the initiative will provide a great incentive for visitors to the region and encourage people to get out and experience the joy of the outdoors and the nations most treasured trout fishery. So dust off the rods and get out there for your chance to win big.

For residents right around the Monaro the local Shows are marked on the calendar as days that provide a variety of entertainment and bring people together from across the region. Due to COVID-19 the Shows will have a different look in 2021 but will aim to unite the area with a range of events, displays and entertainment for the whole family. The Dalgety Show is set to go ahead on Sunday March 8, with the revamped pavilion ready to hold its usual range of events, as well as the outdoor events on the Showground. The Committee are hoping to have a full list of events but will be closely following COVID restrictions and running everything in line with Agricultural Societies Council rules. The Cooma Show will be held on Saturday March 13, and will contain many of its usual attractions, with a separate horse show an a different date
to accommodate COVID restrictions to ensure as many exhibitors as possible can be involved in the Show in 2021. The Bombala Show will also be going ahead in the most COVID-safe way possible on the weekend of March 20 and 21 next year and will be proactively assessing restrictions to add as much to the Show as possible, after they missed out on holding their Show in 2020. The Bombala Exhibition Society are hoping to have all of the normal show and pavilion attractions open for entries and are exploring ways to have horse events on the day to provide for riders across the area. As at decision on the Delegate Show has not yet been made, however they will be hoping to build on what was a well-attended and enjoyed show earlier in 2020 should they go ahead in 2021. The Nimmitabel Show Society made the difficult decision to cancel their 2021 Show in November due to concerns with COVID, but held their inaugural team sorting event in December with great success. With each of the events going ahead aiming to create the safest and most enjoyable experience possible, be sure to mark these dates down and get along to support these important events in the identity of our region.

education and awareness will be important in preparing Australians to safely enjoy their holidays.
In preparation for an expected take up in domestic road trip camping holidays this summer and with over 741,000 registered RV’s, throughout December
In the coming months, approximately 14 million overnight stays and 3.3 million camping trips or more are expected to be taken by Australians.
Each day road safety information regarding pre-planning your trip to manage fatigue, appropriate use of rest stops including truck rest areas, vehicle preparation, sharing the road with trucks, UHF communication and towing will be promoted and shared. This information is relevant for all road users regardless of experience. “Safety is always important but with an expected surge in travel this summer with over 741,000 registered RVs (Recreational Vehicles) in Australia and additional interest from ‘first timers’ due to Covid preventing international holidaying, now is a crucial time to put this messaging ‘front of mind’,” said Keelan Howard GM of Marketing and Communications, Caravan Industry Association of Australia. Caravan Industry Association of Australia has developed in partnership with other state caravan associations, professional service providers and other relevant bodies such as the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and Queensland Trucking Association free to access consumer digital and print
educational assets. This information will be presented using easy to digest videos, engaging online quizzes and written content across email, social media, and digital platforms. Each year tens of thousands of handbooks are distributed for free. Throughout the month people will be directed to materials hosted on the following websites. • National Recreational Vehicle Towing Guide https://caravantowingguide.com. au/ • Co-Exist, Road sharing with heavy vehicles https://coexist.org.au/ The focus will include information around towing, vehicle preparation and RV weights, best practice truck rest stop usage, how to better use UHF radios for road sharing as well as refreshing travellers about what different rest area signage means. Having the right vehicle and parts to tow your caravan or camper trailer is so important to the safety of your family, there are many things to consider before you take your next trip.
%0 :06 ,&&1 -&'5 6/-&44 07&35",*/( The ‘Keep Left Unless Overtaking’ rule remains one of the most misunderstood road rules for motorists across Australia. The NSW Road Rules state that on multi-lane roads with a speed limit of more than 80km/h, motorists must not drive in the right-hand lane unless they are: • Overtaking • Turning right or making a U-turn • Avoiding an obstacle • Driving in congested traffic
Driving in a special purpose lane or if there is a Left Lane Must Turn Left sign or a left traffic arrow and the driver is not turning left or otherwise instructed by road signs. If a Keep Left Unless Overtaking sign is displayed, the requirement applies regardless of the speed limit. However, if you’ve driven on any Sydney highway or freeway in NSW you’ll know this rule isn’t always followed. Overtaking manoeuvres involve risk and
require extreme care. If you have any doubts it is best not to overtake and to wait until it is safer. When overtaking drivers must: • Not go over the speed limit • Signal with indicator long enough to give sufficient warning to others • Check mirrors • Give way to traffic in the lane you are moving in to • Overtake on the right unless a vehicle is waiting to turn right, is stationary, or if you and the other
