Scenes of the Bombala Branch (Includes Cooma Monaro Railway)

[Sir Pompously]

Myself and a Friend decided to Chronicle the Bombala Line between Hume and Cooma, in accessible sections along the line. Here is a look in photos of a line now around 120 years old

It is good to see the Chaokola Bridge is NOW in bad condition. As when it was shut it wasn't & as protest for the closure my uncle wrote a letter into the Australian Railway Historical Society about it & it was their best letter ever.
