Wee Jasper Via Adjungbilly On The Tumut Side

We drove to Wee Jasper today via Adjungbilly on the Tumut side. It was a bit of a workout getting there after the storms six weeks ago. Quite a few washouts and a bit rough through the sections currently being logged. We drove around all of the camp sites at Wee Jasper. Swinging Bridge looked the goods but to be honest they’re all crackers. It was a good day out and loads of fun. A great way to spend our wedding anniversary.

We travelled from our home in Cootamundra and it was a decent enough distance for a day trip. The dirt roads in the area travelling from Adjungbilly were quite rough, a high clearance 4WD vehicle is definitely recommended. A camper trailer would be ok to tow as would a very small offroad caravan. I wouldn’t be towing anything larger than a 13 foot poptop or Jayco Swan.

It’s a good idea to take basic recovery gear with you such as a shovel and recovery boards. Given the number of trees that have come down in the area recent times a chainsaw is also a good option if you don’t want to turn around and backtrack. If you are coming in to Wee Jasper via Yass the road is bitumen all the way and generally in good condition. It does have a lot of twists and turns but overall it is an easy drive.
