Jindabyne

Built around Lake Jindabyne after the original settlement was relocated for the Snowy Mountains Scheme, Jindabyne grew into a year-round centre for the NSW Snowy Mountains. The lake is an impoundment of the Snowy River, and its broad shoreline gives the town a distinctly alpine setting. Winter brings skiers bound for Perisher and Thredbo; in warmer months, boating, fishing and walks around the water shape local life. The Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast postwar hydroelectric and irrigation project, remains central to the area’s identity, while nearby Kosciuszko National Park brings Australia’s high country close at hand.
