Cooma
Description
Set in the open grasslands of the Monaro region, Cooma rose to fame in 1860 when gold was discovered at Kiandra and thousands traveled through the town. A second boom lasted for the 23 years it took to build the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme, swelling the population with immigrants and endowing the town with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Today Cooma is the gateway for skiers to Kosciusko National Park, headquarters for the Snowy Mountains Authority and center of an extensive pastoral district. Cooma offers cafes, accommodation, ski supplies, historic buildings and the wreckage of an aircraft, which crashed in 1931.
