Australia's highest town - 1488m ASL.

The original township of Cabramurra was constructed to house Scheme workers and their families.  The town was the base for the Tumut 1 and Tumut 2 Power Station projects during the 1950s and 60s.  The town was modernised and rebuilt in the early 1970s and is still home to many Scheme workers.  The public are welcome to travel to Cabramurra.

There is a general store located in the main complex that has a cafe serving a range of meals and refreshments, newsagency, fuel sales and souvenirs.  The store is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.  Also located in the main complex is an inspiring photographic collection. Take a look at the historic images of the Snowy Mountains Scheme's construction and see what it was like to live in Cabramurra during those days. 

Cabramurra is located approximately 20kms off the Snowy Mountains Highway.  Why not take a drive up to the lookout for one of the best views in the mountains and of the township itself?  The unique alpine style architecture and streetscape will impress you.

We apologise that no overnight accommodation is available to the public in Cabramurra.

Safety is important at all times while visiting the Scheme.  For more information on Scheme safety click here.
