  The handrails of the memorial have 18 large upright poles, each one representing a life lost.

  After crossing the lane, the landslide , with the remains of the Carinya Lodge, then impacted the Bimbadeen Lodge below, which was situated where the memorial platform of reflection now stands.

  From the platform another two sets of stairs lead to the platform of reflection. This platform is the approximate size and shape of the Bimbadeen Lodge, which was destroyed.

  The landslide destroyed the Bimbadeen Lodge, and continued down the hillside, stopping metres from ski lodges further down the hillside.

  Worth a visit to consider what happened here. Nice to see that after 2 decades, the site is still held in memorial of those who lost their lives.

  The Thredbo Landslide Memorial is a haunting place.

  The disaster itself was due to an unstable hillside, water infiltration through the ground over many years, and poor building and road design.

  Here, in this scar in the hillside, this vacant space between ski lodges, sits the memorial.

  The Alpine Way, which crosses the Great Dividing Range was built only as a temporary road, during the construction of the Snowy River Hydro Scheme.

  Here, in this ski village, during winter, the road and earth beneath it gave way, crashing into the Carinya Lodge, and due to the poor design, the building was swept it off its foundations and across Bobuck Lane. Its foundations can still be seen above the memorial, on the other side of Bobuck Lane.
