June 24 – Tuesday
Departed Waters Edge Holiday Park (certainly would stay here again, nice flat and grassy sites, good amenities) shortly after 9.00am, heading for Cooma via Cann River. Beautiful weather finally – blue skies and no wind. Travel today was very different to the flat, open farmlands of Gippsland which we passed through yesterday – lots of hills, windy roads and bush today. We saw a couple of wallabies eating the young grass growing on the edge of the road (not the least bit concerned about traffic) and a large bird which looked rather like a lyrebird. Lunch was at Bombala in the Snowy Mountains, where Les found an old grader to play brrrmm brrrmm on! Country was typical high country pasture, mainly sheep grazing on very dry grass and not a stockman in sight riding headlong down a steep ravine! Arrived at Cooma about 2.00pm and headed for the only caravan park which just happened to be on a hill, like everything else in Cooma. Fortunately the sites were flat, but very little grass, possibly due to drought conditions. No snow on the mountains, even though the ski season opened a couple of weeks ago.
