The Snowy Mountains of New South Wales are magnificent wilderness areas of high plateaus, deep gullies, forests, heathland, alpine flowers, crystal-clear mountain streams, glacial lakes and winter snows.They are also the site of mainland Australia's highest summit, Mt Kosciuszko.
This guide introduces you to the many ways in which you can experience the Snowies - by car and mountainbike, as well as on foot, horseback and skis. It explores the history of the area and introduces the plants and animals that survive in this idyllic alpine environment: a rare haven of cool on a largely hot, dry continent.
Containing more than 200 spectacular photographs, detailed area maps, and a lift-out poster-map of the whole region this Australian Geographic guide is invaluable for any visitor to the Snowy Mountains.
