The beautiful Doomut Bila (Tumut River) flows right through town.

We are nestled in Wiraduri Country, bordering Wolgalu and Ngunnawal. Tumut is the western gateway to Kosziuscko National Park and just 20min from beautiful Blowering Dam.

Falling Leaf Festival makes use of multiple venues over the weekend including the main street - Wynyard Street, local schools and parks, Montreal Community Theatre, Two Tarts Tumut and the Tumut River Brewing Co.
