  Thredbo, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thredbo (36°30′S 148°18′E) is a village and ski resort in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, in the Snowy River Shire.
It is built in the valley of the Thredbo River, formerly known as the Crackenback River, at the foot of the Ramshead Range.
Thredbo is widely regarded as the best NSW ski resort when fully covered, but because of the low altitude (1365m) of its base, the resort does not always keep snow on the lower half as the temperatures are to high to sustain it there.

New South Wales is Australia’s premier state in more ways than one: it’s not only the oldest of the five states, but it’s the most densely populated too.
Including Sydney, New South Wales covers an area about twice the size of Britain, with roughly a tenth of its population; not a very big state by antipodean standards, but its six and a quarter million residents constitute one-third of the country’s population.
South of Sydney the coast is relatively undeveloped, and there’s a string of low-key family resorts and fishing ports, great for water sports and fishing.
