Tumbarumba Shire Council

Nestled in the rolling western foothills of the Snowy Mountains and framed by rugged snow capped mountains, Tumbarumba Shire offers a vibrant country lifestyle whether you are looking to start a business, raise a family or retire.

The Shire is the gateway to some of Australia’s most spectacular alpine landscapes. It is surrounded by idyllic mountain peaks; natural bushland; expansive vineyards; lush agricultural pastures; and crystal-clear streams brimming with trout.  Tumbarumba Shire is perfect for people who live an active outdoor lifestyle and enjoy activities such as bush walking, horse riding, skiing, fishing and cycling. Located in NSW, it is bordered by Kosciuszko National Park to the East, and the Murray River to the South. The Shire is halfway between Sydney and Melbourne via the Hume Highway, and is around three hours from Canberra. The regional centre of Albury is a two hour drive from Khancoban.

The key employer in the region is the timber plantation and processing industry. Other significant employers include agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, tourism, retail, Snowy Hydro Limited and a correctional centre. The Shire is well serviced by quality health, education and community facilities, making it an excellent choice for a country lifestyle in a scenic natural environment.

Challenge yourself on some of the most spectacular and technical roads in Australia, before settling in to a weekend of relaxed entertainment at the Khancoban Motorcycle Festival.

The festival will kick off at 2.45pm on Saturday 3rd March with a special curtain raising performance by Khancoban Public School. This will be followed by music until midnight from “The Burners”, “The Wayne Ryder band” and “3 on the Tree”. All of the bands are well known around the live music scene, and will play from a wide range of rock and pop covers, from the 60’s through to today. A bar and food stalls will also be on site for the event.

The festival is being held in the parkland on the corner of Scammel Street and Mitchell Ave, adjacent to the Khancoban Pool. The Khancoban community bus will be in operation throughout the event to transport festival goers to and from their accommodation.

On Sunday morning a barbeque breakfast will be available from 8.00am at the festival site. Show n Shine entries will assemble at 8.30am, at the Khancoban shopping centre carpark, and the winner will be announced at 9.30am. Festival tickets are $20 and are available on the day. Children under 18 are free. A portion of the festival’s profits will be donated to the Corryong hospital.
