Monaro Highway CanberraPhoto: Monaro Highway on the road to Canberra. The Monaro Plains are part of the tablelands part of the Snowy Mountains alpine region, that stretches from Capital Country and Canberra ACT in the North to Victoria in the South. In the centre of the Snowy Mountains is Mt Kosciuzko National Park. The park protects Mt Kosciuzko, the tallest mountain in Australia and the rare protected animal species that live here, as well as unique flora. At Bredbro, on the Monaro Highway you can visit the Bredbro Hotel, in operation since 1837 as a coach house and now as a hotel. This place has been used as a stop off for many years by the many visitors and workers that have passed through here on the way to the Snowy Mountains and Melbourne, including Andrew ‘Banjo’ Patterson.
