Tooma

Tooma is a small community of just over 100 people, situated in the eastern part of the Riverina district of NSW. It’s closest neighbours are Tumbarumba, Welaregang, Khancoban and the Victorian border. Tooma is linked by sealed secondary roads to the Victorian town of Corryong.

The township itself is in the valley of the Tooma River, not far from where the Tooma and Murray River join. This is a nature lovers - especially those who are interested in Alpine scenery - paradise. A particularly scenic series of valleys make up the Tooma region, in which there are a number of drives. The route between Tooma and Khancoban is particularly attractive.

Close by is Tooma Reservoir, a man made lake on the Tooma River which stores water for the Tumut One Power Station. There are some nice photo or fishing opportunities here. A two hour drive away is Kosciuszko, one of the best known national parks in Australia as well as Thredbo and Perisher Blue, premier ski resorts.
