Getting there & around

Greyhound Ski Express (13 14 99) buses run from Sydney and Canberra to Thredbo via Jindabyne and Bullocks Flat daily from June to October.

Transborder (6421 0033; www.transborder.com.au) runs a daily, year-round service from Canberra ($65) to Thredbo and back that also stops at Jindabyne ($45) and Bullocks Flat ($60).

Wayward Bus (1300 653 310) runs a summer-only service to Melbourne ($120) four times weekly.

In winter you can normally drive as far as Perisher Valley, but snow chains must be carried – even when there’s no snow – and fitted where directed. The penalty if you’re caught without them is $300. The simplest, safest way to get to Perisher Valley and Smiggin Holes in winter is to take the Skitube train.
