Family Bushwalks in the Snowy Mountains
Data Downloads
The files linked below contain waypoints and some tracks for all the walks, divided into regions so you only need to load a maximum of 6 walks' worth of data at a time.
- For the on-track walks you don't need a squiggly line to follow on your phone; however waypoints are useful to register progress and highlight points of interest.
- The walks with any off-track component (T3, K6, A2, A4, A5, A8 and A9) have track data with approximate elevations but no timing. T2 and A7 are also included FYI.
Data is provided in GPX format, and is appropriate for basic navigation apps like GPX Viewer (Android), Gaia GPS (Android/iOS but requires an account) or the iOS apps GPX viewer 2 or Open GPX Tracker. More app info here.
Available data
Data is grouped by region, as summarised below. Trackhead location is shown in brackets, or destination for the alpine walks. Select the file suitable for your app, either Gaia GPS or other (optimised for GPX Viewer; let me know if other apps have trouble loading it). Files will be added progressively over December 2025.

You can load the data into Tom Brennan's excellent NSW topographic map viewer and slide smoothly between satellite* and the topo views. You can add your own points and lines, and also share a link to the current view. All tracks have the same appearance and all waypoints use the same symbol, though names are preserved.
* summer view from a few years ago, not the pointless snow-covered Google satellite imagery.
