 Because of its height, Mount Delegate now has several telecommunication towers servicing vital services to both NSW & Victoria.Owing to its position directly east of the Snowy Mountains themselves, and well-south of the Monaro Rainshadow, Delegate features an oceanic climate ("Cfb") typical of the South Coast—but a much cooler variant of oceanic due to its elevation (790 m AMSL).The original owners and inhabitants of this area were the Aboriginal peoples of the Ngarigo Nation.
