The Cooma Cenotaph

Kosciuszko National Park is a popular recreation area all year round. The snow lies for months in winter, allowing cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. In summer, the fascinating variety of flora and fauna attracts bush walkers, climbers, anglers, mountain bikers, and water sports enthusiasts. Another fascinating feature of the park includes Yarrangobilly Caves, five limestone caves contorted with stalagmites, stalactites, and other bizarre formations. After exploring the caves, visitors can take a dip in the thermal pool. In summer all roads into the mountain region are open. During winter, snow chains must be fitted on some roads within the park from June 1st to October 10th, while some roads may be completely closed during that time. The resort town of Jindabyne is a great base for exploring the park.
