The Barry Way & Snowy River Road: Wulgulmerang to Jindabyne Road Trip.
This former stock route has a long and colourful history of drovers, horsemen and legends. The route was upgraded in 1961 to an interstate road connecting Gippsland in Victoria with the Monaro in New South Wales.
Bridges were constructed over tributary streams in 1971, making the road all (or most) weather access; but be warned, the road is narrow, winding and rough in places. Leave your precious sedan at home and also your caravan.
Best suited to 4WD vehicles.
The short 9-minute slideshow explores some of the fascinating reminders of the past amid some stunning Snowy River scenery.
