THE HIGH COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA
The Snowies, as they are informally known, is a magnificent mainland mountain range and home of the tallest peaks in Australia. It’s located only 2 hours drive from Canberra and 5 from Sydney, and if you fly, Sydney is just a short hour away.
It’s a famous destination for snow lovers, but there’s more to it than just snow. Spending your retirement in this part of Australia means living where magnificent tall peaks meet a traditional country charm, the waters are pristine and the cool-climate produces some of the finest wines. It also means enjoying loads of free parking on the streets and great shopping.
The region has a rich cultural background and heritage. Retirees find a welcoming community, with plenty of support, workshops and activities. Cooma is the largest town in the region and home of the Cooma Hospital and Health Service.
