Step back in time at the wartime air-raid shelters and experience the sights and sounds of Britain’s Home Front. Visitors can walk through original tunnels, carefully re-equipped to show what daily life was like during the 1940s, and follow the stories of locals through clear, well-curated displays and an audio guide. First opened in 1939, the shelters were the largest purpose-built civilian air-raid shelters in the country, originally designed for 3,850 people and later expanded during 1940–41 to hold up to 6,500. Cut directly into the sandstone cliffs beneath the town centre, the mile-long network offers a rare look at wartime engineering and civilian life. The site reopened in 1996 as a visitor attraction after restoration by Stockport Council and has since become one of the town’s most important museums. Today, it works as both a memorial and an educational space, giving a direct sense of how communities lived through the air raids.

The Kosciuszko Chairlift is a great way to enjoy the spectacular views of Thredbo. At nearly 2 kilometres long, the ride takes 15 minutes one way and offers spectacular valley views as you are lifted 560 vertical metres to the closest access point to Mount Kosciuszko. The scenic chairlift is open 365 days a year.

Australia’s highest peak is Mount Kosciuszko. Standing at 2,228 metres above sea level, it presents a stunning perspective from its majestic peak. A chairlift will take you to the highest access point to the mountain throughout the year. In the warmer months, a walking trail to the peak is open. From the chairlift, it's an easy 6-kilometre walk to the top for breathtaking views.
