Did you know the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme took 100,000 people from 30 countries 25 years to build? and that it has 145kms of tunnels, 80kms of aqueducts, 16 dams and 7 power stations and has been called one of the modern engineering wonders of the world? Also Australia’s highest mountain is named after a hero of Poland.
There are three sealed routes that that are part of the network of original service roads constructed for the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric scheme.
The surveying can be VERY unpredictable and the surface not great but the area is interesting and scenic.
Make sure you have enough fuel as the only bowser is at Cabramurra, Australia’s highest town is located actually off these roads. Note the sole pump here works like this you have to pay over at the shop the exact amount of fuel you want then go back other side to pump it.
You can locate these roads on the map, expand to see the full list.
