Jindabyne
Jindabyne straddles the southern shoreline of Lake Jindabyne in New South Wales’ Snowy Mountains, and its lakeside position has made it a service centre for the Australian Alps. The reservoir was created by Jindabyne Dam as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a major hydroelectric and irrigation project that transformed this high-country region. The original township was inundated during construction of the lake, while the present town was established above the new shoreline. Jindabyne supports trips to Kosciuszko National Park and the ski resorts of Perisher and Thredbo. Lake Jindabyne is used for boating, fishing and sailing, framed by eucalypt-covered slopes and open alpine water.

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.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
