We park near the goal in the town and visit the tourist info centre to have a chat with the nice lady who gives us a good rundown and then head off on the Historical Walk. Through town and around the various churches, town hall, schools, a plane crash memorial and lots of Snowy Scheme memories. Finally along Lambie Street, the original Main Street with beautiful old homes, one converted into a gallery, exhibiting a group of local artists work. Great pieces, great gardens and venue and a lovely volunteer who took a shine to Ross (don't they always) and chatted to him at great length about the town and gardens.
A top little town, friendly people, great coffee (Kettle and Seed) and nice feel to it.
The Caravan Park isn't too busy so we can get the washing done before an early night. Freezing and below overnight - Doona, blanket and heat packs and even the aircon for half an hour before we venture out of bed. Crispy nights and warm, warm days.
We pay Jindabyne a visit and check it out, a good lookout on the way shows us a stunning vista with mountains topped with snow around the edges. Jindabyne is glowing and the lake shimmering, ready for the summer fishing season to kick off this weekend. We had lunch on the lake edge and take a walk around the Lake. Strezlecki the explorer did lots of work here in the 1800's and made many discoveries.
Checked out the winter specials in the shops and managed to find a vest to keep me warm in the evenings. RM Williams, Aussie to the core.
Back to Cooma, another walk around town, another coffee and home to snuggle up for the evening.
