# Rhine Falls, New South Wales

Rhine Falls is a locality within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, halfway between Wambrook and Dry Plain at an altitude of 1,320 metres (4,330 ft); ranking as one of the highest-elevated localities in Australia. Likewise, snowfalls occur frequently from May through to September, and can occur at any time of the year. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 42, the same as neighbouring Dry Plain.

The region is characterised by its vast, flat to gently undulating grazing land on the highest part of the Monaro; beginning at an altitude of approximately 800 metres along the eastern side of the Snowy Mountains Highway, soaring to 1,320 metres at the crest of the locality.

Rhine Falls had a school from March 1892 to December 1933, generally described as a "half-time" school, although full-time until 1904 and in 1910 and 1911.
