We loved the museum. Gold coin donation....worth a bit more so chuck in some extra dollars. A correctional officer from the actual prison next door was on duty today and gave us a great insight into the lives of the prisoners both in the medium security complex the museum is connected to, as well as the minimum security prison ‘The Farm’ up the road. It was fascinating to to see some glimpses of past and present prison conditions in NSW. The actual ‘Trojan Horse’ used in a 1994 escape was pretty cool, as was bullet proof glass from Super Max and although grim....the collection of confiscated contraband was such an eye opener. Souvenir shop contains mountains of craft and hand made products from the inmates. At the end....the gallows....actual gallows. Crazy!

I had the Mountain Symphony package of a massage and signature facial - it was an absolute dream - actually the best facial I’ve ever had. The spa’s calm ambiance combined with Sandra’s magic fingers and flawless service made this an amazingly relaxing experience.

I can't speak highly enough of the offering of stock and the helpfulness of the staff, trying to be as flexible as possible. I think they try to keep offering pieces that are affordable for most, not items at the very expensive end nor at the very cheap/won't last end. I really am not able to get out to shop often and for me this service is perfect with the longest return program offered. It's my saviour and thy listen to my suggestions to any changes such as a minor change on a web page. This is an online website with a couple of fairly remote locations, so some of the questions are not really relevant.

We popped in to the Pretty Parrot Distillery today on our tastings of Tumut and enjoyed a tasting from Dave - and nothing was too much trouble! We didn’t make a booking (sorry! ????) but Dave was more than accomodating. He gave us a run down on the makings of the beverages and where they got their inspiration from. The gins and liqueurs are deeeeelicious, which was obvious as all 8 in our group walked out with 3 bottles in tow! Congratulations on the silver medal in London, we will definitely be back and reordering our bottles online - Thanks again Dave! ????

8. Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 247 reviews
The Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and cafe showcases the amazing history of the Snowy Mountains Scheme; from the early days of construction through to how it is operated by Snowy Hydro today. This is a must for any visitor to the Snowy Mountains region! The Centre houses a comprehensive exhibition hall including an extensive photographic collection, models, hands-on exhibits and a one of a kind immersive theatre. You will find information about the Scheme such as engineering, the environment, the National Electricity Market, history, water management and power generation. Take your turn on the “power bikes” and see if you can peddle hard enough to power a TV, make some toast or boil a kettle. You will also find screens displaying the Scheme working in real time. See which generators are operating, how much electricity they are producing and the prices of electricity in the market. Stay for a while, have a barista made coffee and light refreshments at the Discovery Centre Cafe.
