Rhine Falls is a locality within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, halfway between Wambrook and Dry Plain[2][3] at an altitude of 1,320 metres (4,330 ft); ranking as one of the highest-elevated localities in Australia. Snow occurs 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,[1] the same as neighbouring Dry Plain.[4]

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 in the east, soaring to 1,320 metres at the crest of the locality in the west.

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.[5]
