Visited: Blowering Dam, Tumut 3 Hydro, Talbingo Dam, Yarrangobilly Caves ($29 2 adults), Landers Creek Falls
Stay: Riverside Caravan Park Tumut
We escaped the rain in Canberra heading to Tumut where we camped at the Riverside Caravan park for a couple of nights. The pretty town is nestled in a valley on the edge of the Snowy Mountains.
We couldn't resist buying a locally made straw broom. which have been handmade here since 1946.
The next day after a terrible night of storms and rising rivers we went for a drive along Blowering dam which, not surprisingly, was very full! It was the last dam built as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme and has the 2nd largest capacity in the area. We stopped to read the information at the Tumut 3 Hydro station. Then we looked at Talbingo dam.
Further along we went to explore the Yarrangobilly Caves. We were able to do a self guided walk through a couple of the 4 from about 60 caves that can be visited here.
On the way back to Tumut we did a pretty walk out to Landers Creek Waterfall.
