Top Attractions For COOMA

• LLama Farm - A true novelty in the area is the Llama Farm. The llamas were imported from New Zealand and are now used as pack animals (there are children's rides available) and for their fleece. The farm is located 19 km from Cooma on the road to Adaminaby.
  
  
• Wadbilliga National Park - Cooma is a logical departure point for an exploration of the western side of Wadbilliga National Park with its rugged mountain ranges, wide plateaus, deep river valleys, heathland, bogs and pockets of rainforest. This untouched wilderness area is home to 122 species of native birds as well as swamp wallabies, possums, platypus, eastern grey kangaroos and wombats. The most spectacular features of the park are probably Tuross Falls (35 metres) and the 5-km Tuross River Gorge. The falls can be viewed from a 3-km walking track which departs from the Cascades camping area, which has toilets, picnic and barbecue facilities.
  
  
• Southern Cloud Memorial Park - This memorial park commemorates the disappearance of the Southern Cloud aircraft which crashed in the Snowy Mountains in 1931. It was on a flight from Sydney to Melbourne and was Australia's first major air disaster. It is a comment on the difficulty of the terrain and the wildness of the area that the wreckage in which 8 people were killed wasn't found until 1958.
  
  

Top Activities For COOMA

• Lambie Town Walk - Historically the most interesting area of Cooma is that known as the Lambie Town Walk. The walk moves along Massie Street past the Post Office (1877), Solomon's Store and the Cooma Hotel (both built in 1862), across to the impressive Cooma Court House (1889) with its shuttered French windows and gracious front verandah, and past the old prison which, although built in the 1870s, is still in use today. It then passes Nijong Reserve and enters Lambie Street - surely one of the finest domestic streetscapes in rural New South Wales. The street has a total of eleven listings in the National Trust Register including a beautiful pair of late Victorian semi-detached cottages at 39-41 Lambie Street. The Lord Raglan Hotel or Inn at 11 Lambie Street, which dates from 1854 and is the oldest inn in the district, became a bank in 1860 and is now a gallery. At the end of the street is the Royal Hotel and its outbuildings. The hotel was built in 1858 and has a superb cast iron verandah and an attractive hipped roof. Lambie Street has great beauty and grace.
