Lakes and Wilderness Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

nice place
Single lane, unsealed with sheer drops and BREATHTAKING views. McKillops Road from Little River Falls to McKillops Bridge is among the most amazing sections of road in Australia. Taking in the amazing Snowy River and the Snowy River & Alpine National Parks. Plenty of 4WD tracks leading off the main route, but McKillops Road is fine for 2WD. No vans or trailers past Little River Falls #NationalPark
