Nearby Attractions and Activities
Adaminaby
The nearby township of Adaminaby is famous for its ‘Big Trout’. A 10m high Rainbow Trout made of fibreglass and steel. Standing proudly in the central gardens and picnic area, it has welcomed Adaminaby’s visitors since the 60s.
Adaminaby has a hotel, bowling club, garages, motel accommodation, souvenir shops, restaurants, a wonderful bakery, the Snowy Scheme Museum and many other visitor facilities.
The original town was submerged in the 1960s as Lake Eucumbene slowly filled following the completion of Eucumbene Dam by the Snowy Mountains Authority. At that time Eucumbene dam wall was the largest earth filled dam in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Big Trout can be found in the central gardens of Adaminaby.
