"The Ultimate Private Luxury Escape"  

Climate

Combadello enjoys a magnificent climate with an annual mean maximum of 28.5 C and minimum of 6.4 C. Summer days can exceed this, however evenings are nearly always cool and sometimes cold (we have had December nights of 0 C). In winter, the days are generally mild to cool and the evenings cold – often sub-zero, making an evening in front of the fireplace a joy. The mountain sunsets place Combadello in their shadow a few hours early all year round and the Cottage veranda is an excellent place to sit, relax and enjoy the sunrise or sunset.

We enjoy a high rainfall of around 46 inches giving us a permanent water supply . Even in drought, clear waterholes remain. With such a high rainfall and given the geography of the valley, flash flooding can occur and this should always be taken into account when walking along the river or creek. Weather conditions can change quickly on Combadello and this should also be taken into account when venturing out for extended walks.

Winter Snow is not uncommon, with some years providing settled snow down to the Pages River, obviously if Combadello is under Snow then Towarri NP and the Liverpool Ranges will be under even more. It makes for a spectacular sight, gazing over the white of Combadello down to the green of the valley towards Murrurundi, further highlighting the seclusion and beauty this property offers.

Summers on Combadello, like all of Australia can pose a fire risks as the Spring grass dries out. Fire bans are notified by NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) warnings should be adhered to when entering Towarri NP.
