Tumut is a historic town situated in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. Located at the foothills of the Australian Alps, the town's name derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "quiet resting place by the river."

The area has a rich Indigenous history, with the Wiradjuri people being the traditional custodians of the land. Established in the 1850s during the gold rush era, Tumut has evolved into a significant agricultural and tourism center. The town is known for its natural beauty, particularly during autumn when its famous avenue of elms and poplars displays vibrant colors. Tumut plays an important role in Australia's hydroelectric scheme as part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme.

The town maintains strong connections to both its pastoral heritage and Aboriginal cultural history, with various historical buildings and sites preserved throughout the area. The local cultural scene is supported by regular community events and festivals that celebrate the region's history and natural environment.
