RV TRAVEL
KOSCIUSZKO NATIONAL PARK
Now, while you can lose yourself in Cooma, with boutique coffee shops and local history, it ' s the outskirts where the real beauty lies. The landscapes are stunning and there are great touring trails to the west. Being close to the Snowy Mountains, one of the must-dos is to head out past Jindabyne to explore the stunning ranges in Kosciuszko National Park along the Alpine Way.
During winter, this place is a haven for all types of activities but, during summer, the park is significantly different – you can brave the cool mountain rivers for a dip, walk to the top of Mount Kosciuszko and camp in designated bush camps. Your daily entry fee allows you to camp for 24 hours.
Two areas are set aside, just before Thredbo: The Diggings and Ngarigo. These sites are perfect to set-up base camp for a few days to explore the area. They back onto the Thredbo River, and there is plenty of scope to enjoy the walking and bike trails, be one with nature or just relax. There is also plenty of room for tents, swags and caravans. An added bonus: fires are allowed during non-fire-ban days.
For the series outdoors people, it’ s only a 10-minute drive to Thredbo to hike up to the top of Australia’ s highest and most spectacular mountain, Mount Kosciuszko.
