スノーウィーマウンテンズの天然記念物・トップ5

La La Fallsは、ナナカマドの緑豊かな森の下にあり、シダに覆われた岩壁を流れ落ちています。この絵のように美しい滝は、大雨の後が最もよく見られます。

マウント・コジオスコ山頂展望台は、オーストラリア最高地点の標高2,228メートルに位置し、スノーウィー山脈の広々とした景色を望めます。ローソン峠からの最後の区間は、天候が急変しやすい高山地帯の、なだらかで開けた道を進みます。山頂からは、なだらかな山々、高い平原、遠くの尾根が四方を取り囲んでいます。ここはほとんど避難場所がないため、晴れた日でも風が吹くことを覚悟し、下山する前に景色をじっくりと堪能してください。

The summit of Mount Tennent rises to about 1,375 metres, making it one of the most prominent peaks visible from southern Canberra. From the top, there are beautiful views across Namadgi National Park, including the Gudgenby Valley and distant peaks of the Australian Alps.

Cypress Pine Lookout is one of the main viewpoints along the Mount Tennent Track, roughly halfway up the mountain. The lookout sits near stands of native cypress pine and opens up to wide views across the Gudgenby Valley toward the surrounding ranges of Namadgi National Park. It’s an ideal place for a scenic break before continuing the climb toward the summit.

Wells Cave is a narrow rock passage on the steep ascent route to Sugarloaf Peak. Reaching the cave involves scrambling up exposed rock faces before squeezing through the tight gap in the rock formation, making it one of the most challenging sections of the Southern Circuit. This section is recommended only for experienced walkers comfortable with heights and short sections of rock climbing. It’s also a good idea to make sure you have your headlamp ready before you enter.

Charlotte Pass is a ski resort and small village. Here is the Kosciuszko National Park, where the Kosciuszko Road crosses Kangaroo Ridge. Charlotte Pass is the jumping-off point for Mount Kosciuszko and a great spot to take in and learn about the surrounding range.

Steavenson Falls is one of Victoria’s tallest waterfalls, cascading approximately 84 metres over a series of rocky tiers. There is a viewing platform at its base, near the car park, which is a very popular spot and illuminated at night. This upper lookout platform provides an elevated vantage point just off the main falls track, where you can see the full drop framed by tall mountain ash forest, offering a quieter perspective than the lower viewing area.

Mount Feathertop, at 1,922 metres, is Victoria’s second‑highest peak and one of its most impressive, with steep, angular slopes unlike the rounded domes of nearby summits with sweeping 360-degree views across surrounding ranges, especially in clear weather. It forms part of the Victorian Alps in the Alpine National Park and is often snow‑covered from June to September. The mountain is joined to Mount Hotham by the Razorback ridge, making it a standout in the High Country.
