Batlow, Administrative division in Snowy Valleys Council, Australia.

The town stands at 775 meters above sea level on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales.

Founded in the 1850s as Reedy Creek, the settlement emerged as a supply point for gold miners following local gold discoveries in 1854.

The region maintains strong connections to apple cultivation, with local growers producing 1.6 million cases annually, representing 10% of Australia's apple production.

The town experiences cold winters with occasional snow, while the annual apple harvest occurs between March and April, bringing seasonal workers.

In 1922, Batlow established the first cool storage facilities in New South Wales, coinciding with the construction of a railway from Tumut.
