Cooma - Australian Icon Towns
Cooma, where skiing first started in Australia & the building of the huge Snowy Mountain scheme.
trip to Cooma
On 2nd March 2013 two visitors traveled from Sydney to Cooma Correctional Centre to visit a prisoner who is serving time in the low security correction centre. On arriving the visitors were informed that the prisoner had been moved early that morning to Goulburn Correctional Centre - a maximum/minimum security institution.
The visitors followed all the correct procedures in preparation to visit. Three contacts were made with the Correctional Centre to verify and confirm visitation to the prisoner.
What could the visitors make of this poor communication from the corrective system and was the prisoner in any danger.

Fred's Films: Away to Cooma
Faithfully captured here by Fred Daley, steam train enthusiast and 8mm home movie maker, is a family road trip from Melbourne to the New South Wales town of Cooma. Winding dirt roads, sign posts, look-outs and country museums are enjoyed by the family on their journey. It appears to be summertime as there are roadside stops near cooling lakes and weirs. The refreshing river at Bright is enjoyed by many people with kids jumping off a bridge (right next to the Do Not Dive From Bridge sign!) and enjoying a long metal slide into the water. Places featured are: Eildon, Whitefield, Bright, Mt Buffalo, Tatra, Tallangatta, Merimbula, Buchan Caves and of course, Cooma. An inter-title at the end shows there must have been a drought that year Cooma - Very dry in '65.
Fred's Films: Away to Cooma (1965) is just one of the many that we are digitising. Discover more about the process on our website.

Sydney to Brisbane Train Journey on NSW TrainLink XPT Vlog
A train ride from Sydney to Brisbane on NSW TrainLink XPT
XPT is a long distance interstate train which is operated by NSW TrainLink of New South Wales from Sydney and one of these routes are connecting Sydney and Brisbane in Queensland. I used the cheapest class fare on this train, the Economy Class costs $45 (non-refundable) and the 14 hour journey takes too long for me on a train like this but Australians think that these train journeys are considered medium.
