    About Dalgety

    Today this peaceful village is the only remaining town on the Snowy River. Dalgety survived after the Snowy Mountains Scheme was built and the old towns of Jindabyne and Adaminaby were flooded.

    Dalgety was gazetted as a site for the national capital in 1904, just a few years after Federation. The granite outcrops that surround the town make a dramatic natural feature, giving it the moody atmosphere that was captured in Ray Lawrence's thriller, Jindabyne. Be sure to take the historic town and river walk to see the remaining heritage buildings in this idyllic country setting.
