School Tours
The Snowy Mountains are just a couple of hours from Canberra and yet traces the history of the people of Australia. From the ancient Aboriginal rock paintings in Namadgi National Park to the colonial legend of The Man From Snowy River and the industrial marvel that is the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, Australia's "rooftop" provides students with an enjoyable convergence of history and the industrial and natural sciences. And for many students it will be their first experience in snow!
Choose from 4 or 5 day Itineraries extending from Canberra or we can design an excursion based entirely around the Snowy Mountains.
