Back on the Princes Highway, Cobargo, established in 1829, is a charming, old-fashioned working village where you can observe artisans at work in their studios. Stop for lunch and visit the town's antique shops, galleries and tea rooms.

Take a break at the Dry River Rest Area south of Quaama where there are barbecues and sheltered picnic tables, toilets and a parking area for caravans and buses. There's a walking track along Dry River marking the start of the Biamanga National Park.

Mumbulla Mountain, near Brogo, is clothed in rainforest and is significant to the Yuin people. Mumbulla Falls is a 150 metre walk downstream from the picnic area. The riverbed is carved out of rock and Mother Nature has created a pleasing and interesting sculpture.

Take the Warrigal Range Road to Brogo Dam and explore the dam by canoe. Walk around pleasant gardens and picnic at tables made of giant granite rocks. The upper reaches of the dam are overshadowed by high gorge walls covered with native rock orchids, ferns and mosses. There is bass in the Brogo River and the dam is stocked with trout. Take the Snowy Mountains Highway to absorb the superb scenery all the way to Pipers Lookout. Stop at the country pub at Bemboka where you can get a bistro lunch or dinner, or try the Bemboka Pie Shop for a quick bite.
