About the Business
Welcome to Coolamine Homestead, a historic establishment nestled in the breathtaking High Plains area of northern Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, Australia. This point of interest and tourist attraction is a must-visit for those seeking to immerse themselves in Australia's colonial heritage and experience the remote beauty of the Snowy Mountains' high country.
Located between Cooleman Mountain and Blue Waterholes campgrounds, Coolamine Homestead is easily accessible via the scenic Blue Waterholes trail. As you make your way through the picturesque grassland and snow gums, you'll be captivated by the collection of buildings that showcase different architectural styles from the late 1800s.
Step inside the main residence, Campbell House, and be transported back in time. The walls are adorned with old newspapers, offering a glimpse into the news stories that shaped the early to mid 1900s. Take your time to read and absorb the rich history that surrounds you.
As you explore the homestead site, let your imagination run wild with the sounds of cattle being mustered and envision the lives of those who once called Coolamine their home. Discover hidden treasures and soak in the serene atmosphere before relaxing on the veranda. From there, you can enjoy panoramic views and listen to the soothing sounds of the wind rushing through the majestic snow gums.
For nature enthusiasts, a visit to Blue Waterholes and its stunning gorge walks is a must. But before you embark on your adventure, we recommend purchasing a topographic map to ensure a safe and enjoyable exploration of the park's attractions and facilities.
Please note that Coolamine Homestead is not accessible by vehicles during winter. However, the homestead's charm and historical significance make it a year-round destination for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a unique experience in the heart of Australia's Snowy Valleys Council.
