Did a trip down to Tumut last weekend, stayed out east of Tumut at Elm Cottages, Little River Road, beautiful countryside, and currently it is green all the way from Sydney to Tumut, which is different than a couple years ago, or even less, where it is brown hills all the way.
Anyway, repeaters, I made sure I had the frequencies added in memory for the trip, VK1RGI 146.950 MHz, VK2RYG 146.875 MHz, VK2RBE 146.775 MHz, VK2RWG 146.650, VK2RTD 146.800 MHz, I heard activity driving down the Hume Highway, but strength of the repeaters on the Hume Highway not all the great, Ginini was there along the Goulburn-Yass-Browning section, but surprisingly there are a few shadows along the highway to Gundagai. I couldnt find 146.800 in Tumut, as explained below
Also drove up to Kiandra, everything was burnt from fire last summer. Could not get Mt Ginini 146.950 that was a big surprise, not get picked up on APRS from there either.
I did a search on WARC and here are the details, does not seem to be any 70cm repeaters:
VK2RWG – 146.750 MHz – located at Wheel of Fortune Hill, East of Wagga Wagga.
VK2RBE – 146.775 MHz – located at Mt Bethungra, North of Junee.
VK2RTD – 146.800 MHz – (currently off air) located at Mt Tumorrama, Tumut
VK2RGA – 146.825 MHz – (currently off air) (Lockhart)
