THINGS TO SEE:
Suggan Buggan Schoolhouse
In 1865 Edward O’Rourke
constructed the old school house
which still stands today. The smaller
of the two rooms was for a tutor
named Ballantyne who was hired to
teach O’Rourke’s thirteen children. A
man named Tom Dillon, who worked
for the family, is buried in a grave at
the top of the hill near the school
house. He was a ticket-of-leave man; a
convict who was granted freedom of
lodging and occupation within a given
district until the end of his sentence.
Snowy River National Park
To the east is the Snowy River
National Park. At its southern tip is
the picnic area on Moresford Track
where a short walking trail leads to
an impressive view of Raymond
Falls. Further north, on Varney’s
Track, is Hicks Property which is
ideal for camping although it lacks
any facilities. A dirt track leads to
Jackson’s Crossing on the Snowy
River and the lower reaches of
Rodger River are also there to be
investigated. South of Wulgulmerang
is a road which will take you along a
signposted route to within walking
distance of a spectacular lookout over
Little River Gorge, one of the deepest
in the state. Two kilometres west is a
short walking track that leads to the
Little River Falls. Further east is the
McKillops Bridge area, on the banks
of the Snowy River, which is an ideal
locale for swimming and relaxing in
summertime. Wild horses live in the
park and can sometimes be seen.INGEBYRA
Mostly just a landmark for this trip,
but if you wanted to stay somewhere
and get your “Snowy Mountain
Man” on, you can stay at Old
Ingebyra Homestead and go horse
riding just like The Man from Snowy
River. Or you could try to replicate
his feat on your bike. No? Visit:

spot is popular with photographers,
so don’t forget to bring your camerafor some spectacular shots. Some on-
site interpretative material will help
you understand what you’re seeing.
Wallace Craigie lookout is good to
visit at any time of year, though
the best time for birdwatching is
summer, when a variety of local
species circle overhead.JINDABYNE
Located on the road to Kosciuszko
National Park and perched on the
edge of a meandering lake, Jindabyne
and its surrounding towns in the
Snowy Mountains make a great base
for exploring the region. This is a
town that has just about all necessities
and all the fuel you’ll need.
Local towns Berridale, Adaminaby
and Dalgety offer plenty of things
to see and do, as well as ample
restaurant and accommodation
options to suit visitors of all ages,
lifestyles and budgets. They’re
also great places to hire everything
you need for the snow from
fashion to equipment.
