Climate


Owing to its location on the exposed westernmost edge of the South West Slopes (in pine plantation country), Rosewood features cool maxima relative to its altitude; its annual mean maximum lay at 19.1 °C (66.4 °F), comparable to that of Cooma on the eastern side of the ranges despite being over 300 metres (980 ft) lower in altitude. Maxima are especially cool in winter.

Tumbarumba to Rosewood Rail Trail


Rosewood is currently at the furthest extent of a 21 km long rail trail from Tumbarumba, which reuses a portion of the route of the former Tumbarumba railway line. It opened on 3 April 2020. The remainder of the old railway, between Rosewood and Wagga Wagga, has not been used since in 1987, but largely remains in place, in a degraded state, although some sections of track have been removed.[5][6] The rail trail has been described as a 'pilot', indicating that a future extension, beyond Rosewood, is possible.
