Lake Jindabyne Hidden Gem of New South Wales

Lake Jindabyne Hidden Gem of New South Wales

It is one of the most memorable places I’ve been. To think back about it, I really missed Australia for this. It was an unplanned journey and it was great.

Like usual, I started an idea of traveling somewhere far off Wagga Wagga, NSW. After consulting housemate Henry, we decided to go to Lake Jindabyne, a ski resort area which is very popular in South of New South Wales.

At that time, we chose a day and then we began to travel to Lake Jindabyne without a map. Hate me or not, I loved to travel around in outback Australia without a map. I did find it very ridiculously interesting.
While on the road, I tried to keep focus on the road as we drove across one of the most breath taking views I’ve seen in my life. The plain, the grass and the sky, I felt like kicking myself for not taking any pictures at that time.

After a 3 long hours drive, we reach Lake Jindabyne. The landscape and the view was really something. We reached the lake, brought our little picnic party and finding a spot for it. While having the sandwiches and coffee overlooking the beautiful lake, the 3 hours drive was somehow damn worth it.

After a mere 30 min picnicking, the rain came in a sudden. We packed and left Lake Jindabyne in haste. A lovely picnic turned to a heavy thunderstorm. Since it was Fall at that time, we decided to went back to Wagga Wagga before the sky turned dark.

It was a short moment at Lake Jindabyne but it was well long lasted In our memories.
