  • The Snowy Scheme Museum opposite the Big Trout in Adaminaby is a must-visit that houses a fascinating display of memorabilia and a vast array of history and artefacts from the Snowy Scheme.

    Here you can view the nationally significant collection and exhibits relating to the Snowy Scheme, one of the greatest engineering feats in Australian history, and renowned across the world.

    Today the collection includes machinery, historic vehicles, laboratory equipment, surveying and drafting equipment, artworks, photographs, maps and much more.

    Wander through and see in close detail how some workers went about their daily business, and admire how they achieved such a great outcome without some of the modern instruments we rely on today.

    The Museum has continually added to its collection and, in October 2026, celebrated its 15th year.

    Open on weekends or by special appointment, it is highly recommended to visit this museum.

    Visit the Adaminaby Big Trout in the park, and the cafe opposite the Big Trout, and the bakery in the town centre, plus stop in at the hotel for a beverage, lunch or dinner.
