On 30 July 1997, in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, the four-storey Carinya ski lodge was hit by a landslide coming from the Alpine Way road.
The building was dislodged by the fast-moving sludge and slid downhill towards the Bimbadeen lodge.

The impact destroyed both structures and killed 18 people.

19 people were residing in the two lodges at the time of the accident; one man was in the Carinya lodge and 17 others in Bimbadeen lodge.
They all became trapped underneath debris.
