As the cooler months settle in and seasonal road conditions begin to change, June is the perfect time to experience a different side of the Upper Murray.

In a region that truly experiences the magic of four seasons, winter brings crisp air, quieter roads, and a sense of discovery around every corner.

As the gateway to the NSW Snowy Mountains, the Upper Murray is the perfect base to take in scenic snow capped mountain views and enjoy the slower pace, whether you are heading to the snow or simply soaking in the view.

Mornings are for warming up in cosy cafés, and afternoons are best spent relaxing in country pubs. Don't forget to tag us on all your adventures!

Marathon Pelicans... we can’t wait to see you!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… we are so incredibly grateful to the communities of the Lake Hume region for getting behind Pub to Pelican and helping make it the success it is.

This year, due to the impact of the January fires on the HCRT, our marathon start line moves to the Bethanga Hotel ...and we’re thrilled to say they are super excited to welcome you all! 🙌

We know many of you will be heading straight to the start with family and friends in tow 🚗💨- and the Bethanga Hotel, with the amazing support of the Bethanga Golf Club and Cemetery Trust, are going all out to look after everyone.

Expect:
🥓 Egg & bacon rolls for those early‑morning champions driving you
☕ Tea, coffee… and warming hot choc and chai to kickstart the day

It’s shaping up to be another fantastic event thanks to the incredible community spirit that makes Pub to Pelican so special. 💙

We can’t wait to see you at the start line! 🏁

P.S. Half marathoners and 10km runners, we haven’t forgotten you… stay tuned to hear what you can expect at Pelican Park 👀
