Moonbah: Churches, Heritage and Mountain Bike Trails

Moonbah offers two distinct themes to consider when planning your trip: named churches and heritage sites, and mountain bike trails at the Bungarra Alpine Centre. The heritage sites can each be identified by name and street address; for mountain biking, an approximate trail length is provided. This lets you decide first whether to focus your stay on religious and architectural landmarks or on mountain biking.

Church and directions on Barry Way

Moonbah Cemetery and the Roman Catholic St Thomas’s Church are both on Barry Way, 12 kilometres from Jindabyne. The church is located at 1202 Barry Way, Moonbah, and is listed with local heritage protection under the Snowy River Local Environmental Plan. St Thomas on Barry Way is also listed as a Mass centre of St Columbkille Parish. For directions, you have both the exact address and the parish affiliation; the cemetery is another named landmark on the same Barry Way. If you plan to visit, check access in advance.

Named heritage sites in Moonbah

Wollondibby Mill/Gammon on Big Yard Road in Moonbah is listed with local heritage protection under the Snowy River Local Environmental Plan. The remains of a hut, with associated plantings, a grave and a well, are at 687 Big Yard Road; this site is also listed with local heritage protection under the plan. The West Lynne shearing complex at 167 West Lynne Road, Moonbah, is likewise listed there with local heritage protection. These landmarks are distinguished by their named forms: a mill, a hut with associated features, and a shearing complex.

Pleasant View at 162 Mugridge Road, Moonbah, is listed in the “Farming and Grazing” collection as a built house, with the listing type LEP #57. This classification adds a distinct collection and clearly designated type to the other names. For a first orientation, the sites differ not only by street but also by the categories in their listings. If you want to compare several landmarks, you can consider Pleasant View separately from the sites on Barry Way, Big Yard Road and West Lynne Road.

Mountain bike trails at Bungarra Alpine Centre

Bungarra Alpine Centre in Moonbah has around 20 kilometres of mountain bike trails. This is an approximate length; check the trail details before your trip if mountain biking is part of your plans. The distance gives you a rough idea of the scale of this activity, while the heritage sites are distinguished mainly by their names, classifications and addresses.

Moonbah as a destination for finding hotels
