Dalgety, New South Wales

The historic village of Dalgety is the only town left on the Snowy River in New South Wales. The Dalgety Bridge built in 1888, is a grand structure that was, in its day, an engineering feat. Once considered as a site for the National Capital, not much has changed in this quiet little hamlet. With the introduction of increased flows to the river, visitors can learn about Snowy River Recovery and the many projects that will see the River slowly come back to life.

Situated on the Monaro Plains and in the rain shadow of the Snowy Mountains, Dalgety is a relatively dry area of rolling hills with granite boulders scattered across the landscape and full of history. There is a lovely Historic Town and River Walk with brochure to describe the sights.
