Big Hill

From Henry Angel Campground, past the Burra Tunnel there is a side track up to “Big Hill”. Off the main Hume & Hovell Track, it is 0.5kms one way with views of the Snowy Mountains once up top. This hill is of historical significance as it is the same place Hamilton Hume and William Hovell climbed to see if they could get a better view of what lay ahead of them, as they found the country had become too rough for the loaded bullocks. This was the first sighting of the western face of the Snowy Mountains by white men.
