Destination NSW Snowy Mts
Five things to do
1. Visit: Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre
Before you reach the mountains themselves, stop in Cooma at the Discovery Centre and find out the history of one of the civil engineering wonders of the world, the Snowy Mountains Scheme. There are displays showing what life was like during the construction phase along with an overview of the dams, tunnels and power stations, as well as the progress of Snowy 2.0.
