Information

The Long Plain road heads NE from the Snowy Mtns Hwy at Rules Point. Closed in winter from June to October. 2WD standard gravel surface gives access to Cooleman caves and the Blue Waterholes as well as several huts. An easy undulating drive follows the 330kV powerlines along the plain, crossing the upper Murrumbidgee a few km from its source. Another few km until the zig zag descent down Peppercorn Hill by which time it is the Brindabella track.
