Bird Watching

   Australia's native birds are of great interest to both the novice and expert bird watcher.  Snowy Mountain Holidays enjoys a number of native bird species which frequent our gardens.  Many are here all year long, many are migratory and frequent seasonally.  Some of the more interesting species are the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Kookaburras, many types of honey eaters, Superb Fairy Wrens and many more.  When spending time on or by the river you are able to see a variety of different species of birds who frequent the river and surrounding lowlands.  In the air there are often hawks, ibis, kites, pelicans, the Nankeen Kestrel and occasionally a Wedge-tailed Eagle.  You will always be entertained by Crimson Rosellas, Galahs and Sulphur Crested White Cockatoos.
