Road Conditions and Snow Chains
The Snowy Mountains region is one of the most beautiful places to drive in Australia, but it can also be hazardous.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change rapidly so it is important to be prepared for any situation and check the weather before starting your journey.
Here are some of our tips to make sure youโre prepared to arrive safely and on time:
- Is your car ready?
- Do you need snow chains?
- Check live traffic updates before leaving
- Be patient and wait for a safe opportunity to pass heavy and slow vehicles.
