A trip to the Snowy Mountains is not complete without seeing the sites of the mighty Snowy Scheme
With locations from Cooma, to Talbingo and through to Khancoban there are plenty of ways to experience the Snowy Scheme in southern New South Wales.
Cabramurra
Cabramurra Township has reopened to the public.
Open seven days: 9am – 3pm.
Bistro 1488 is open to the public and access is also available to the lookout.
Please note construction is still underway to rebuild the township post bushfires. Please follow signage and look out for construction traffic.
The visitor experience centre is not open at this stage and is currently under redevelopment.
Driving through the Snowy Mountains during winter means snow, ice and fog and this can make driving dangerous. Roads become very slippery so slow down, allow extra distance from the vehicle in front and keep your headlights on to increase your visibility.

Opening hours:
Tue – 8am to 5pm

Tumut 3 Power Station and Talbingo
Talbingo is home to the Snowy Scheme’s largest power station, Tumut 3. While the power station itself isn’t open for tours, a nearby public viewing area offers interpretive signage, picnic facilities and space to take in the scale of this impressive hydro station.
Just a short drive away, Talbingo Dam is a popular spot for swimming, boating and relaxing by the water. With sheltered picnic areas, barbecues and sweeping mountain views, it’s a great place to spend a few hours or a whole afternoon.
