Tumut

4,654 km²

The regional landscape of Tumut has remained steady in its character over the last decade. It is a spacious rural centre in New South Wales where life revolves around a car-dependent layout. While the town provides a base for a diverse range of people, it is most distinctive for its limited walkability compared to the state average. The community's identity is tied to its slower pace and its role as a hub within the Snowy Valleys region.
