We had our stay in the Snowy’s at Khancoban Lakeside Caravan that is now owned and managed by a lady I worked with in the Sunshine Coast and her husband. We arrived on the Friday of the Labour Day long weekend which is a busy time for the Caravan Park.

We explored the village visiting the Information Centre where we picked up a 12 month pass to the NSW Parks (a park of being on the pension).

The next day we went visiting the Olsen’s and Scammell lookouts. Nothing is very close in the Snowy’s and the roads are extremely bendy but for the most part well maintained.

After the long weekend we drove too Thredbo, took a chair lift up the mountain, then walked about 13.5km return to the Mount Kosiosko summit at an altitude of 2,228m. We then enjoyed a gondola ride to see a bit more of Thredbo.

We enjoyed a dinner at The Alpine Inn before travelling to the Yarrangobilly Caves. We did a self guided tour of the South Glory Cave, had a swim in the Thermal Pool, and did a guided tour of the Jersey Caves. On the return we stopped for a bite to eat at the Bradley’s But rest area.
