Discover the natural attractions of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, camp at Lake Burrinjuck and Blowering Reservoir, explore rugged bushland or visit one of many picnic and camping trackheads. Whichever way you look at it, the Hume and Hovell Walking Track has something for everyone.

The Hume and Hovell Walking Track stretches over 440km between Yass and Albury and allows walkers to rediscover the route of explorers Hamilton Hume and William Hovell on their expedition to Port Phillip in 1824. The route offers a variety of topographies, vegetation types and land uses, as well as numerous points of historic interest. Apart from bush walking, the track gives access to other recreational activities including camping, fishing, swimming, nature study, photography and wildlife observation.
