Here’s what recent visitors had to say about their day,
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for sharing your corner of paradise with us this afternoon.
We had a wonderful time taking in the scenery, the fabulous wildlife, and you gave us a fascinating insight into life at your place including the sheep shear and that gorgeous wool. Afternoon tea has never tasted so good!!
It's been an amazing day and the highlight of our holiday. The lovely photo CD will always bring back memories of a great day.
Thanks again,
Jill, Jen, and Dave.”

Lions Head Portal, Matong Gorge
|
Explore the natural wonders - the awesome Matong Gorge, where Matong Creek carves a spectacular cliff lined gorge hundreds of meters deep, around the foot of Wobbyong Mountain as it plunges down to join the Snowy River.
In the Black Cypress forests
of the gorge rim, you can be serenaded by that Australian Master of Mimicry, the Lyre bird.
On a Stone Bridge Tour keep watch for wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, emus, echidnas, reptiles and native birds.

Rock carvings at Stone Bridge

Snowy River carved granite
|
Through the eons the river has used water, sand and stones to carve this natural granite barrier into a unique fantasy of flutes, ripples, holes and pools; intricately carved shapes fit to grace an art gallery according to the Australian Geographic Book, “The Snowy Mountains”.
|
Enjoy the colors as the sun
lights up the Stone Bridge.
The Stone Bridge is a powerful place, a sight to inspire awe and a photographers delight.
