Welcome to a global showcase of Tumbarumba.

25 Aug 2010
If you just heard us on ABC Radio we haven't really got any photos from today of the snow as there wasn't that much of it, but we have put up a couple from last time we got some photos, plus some pictures from the other day when it snowed a little too.
See photos of town when it snowed in 2008 here

If anyone has any photos from today, please send them to us so we can put them up! Cheers!

We are excited to be able to present our showcase of all things Tumbarumba-ish to you!

Stop a while and have a look at what we have on offer for you. You may be surprised and delighted at what you find!

As this website grows, you will see more and more information on places of interest to visit, coming events taking place in the region, images from around the area, and things to buy from our beautiful little part of the world!
