There's so much to see and do on a holiday in the New South Wales High Country. Spectacular peaks, clear mountain streams and the clean, crisp high country air provide a brilliant backdrop for your holiday.

In the warmer months, when fields of wildflowers bloom, you can become snap-happy on horseback in the high plains or enjoy the impressive scenery on a bushwalk along the rooftop of Australia. Melting snow generates a surge for white-water rafters, trout fill the streams and the vast lakes offer great water skiing or the outlook for the perfect picnic.
