Nestled in the Snowy Valleys of NSW, Talbingo is the ultimate country escape. A paradise for anglers and water-sport lovers, the town sits on the Tumut River between Blowering Dam to the north and Talbingo Dam to the south. Talbingo Dam, the largest of the 16 dams within the Snowy Mountains Scheme, dominates the landscape. The town itself was purpose-built to house workers involved in one of Australia’s greatest engineering achievements, a hydroelectric and irrigation project now operated by Snowy Hydro. We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this amazing feat of engineering and taking in the magnificent scenery surrounding the dams and waterways.
We spent two nights at Jounama Creek Campground, using it as the perfect base to explore the surrounding area. Our campsite sat right on the creek, giving us easy access for refreshing swims and the soothing sound of flowing water to lull us to sleep each night.
