8 to 10 Oct 2008 We stayed at the Highland Lodge managed by Patrick and Katrina. There are cows, chicken, ducks, geese, guinea fowls, a donkey and two alpacas. It is a small farm. James got to watch us feed the chickens each morning. Jindabyne is the main town along the pass through the Snowy Mountains from the coast of NSW towards the Murray River basin of Victoria.
Modern Jindabyne was created in the late 1960s when the original town was relocated by the Snowy Mountains Authority for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. The original town now lies under the waters of Lake Jindabyne an artificial lake. The highest ski fields in Australia, all within Kosciuszko National Park
It encompasses Mt Kosciuzko (the highest mountain in Australia at 2228m), the headwaters of the famous Snowy River. John, Debbie and I brought James to have his first experience of snow at Charlotte Pass.
