The Man from Snowy River Festival is proud to be so closely associated with the Man from Snowy River, a legend that Australia recognises as one of its unique selling points which is why organisers of Australia’s Sydney Olympics featured it in its opening ceremony.
​
The Festival provides an opportunity to revisit this legend at the well of our national spirit and be a striking reminder of the great traditions and exploits of the Australian bush. The program of activities aims to foster a revival in our cultural heritage.
​
By paying tribute to our local legend as depicted in Paterson’s great ballad, we remind fellow Australians of our great culture and help preserve and promote legacies, such as the Man from Snowy River, so they are not obliterated by time.
