Kiandra - that name brings back memories, it was a boom town from the =
late 40's through to the 60's during the building of the Snowy Hydro =
Scheme. There was a general store and In fact it was the highest town =
in Australia so it had a meteorological station so it was often on the =
TV news with the coldest temp. After the Snowy Scheme was finished the =
accommodation at Cabramurra was sufficient for the maintenance staff so =
Kiandra died off. I don't think it even appears on the map anymore.

Subject: SER1 Ah, Cooma !
I'll always remember Cooma as we were driving through NSW, it was =
getting quite late & we were looking for somewhere to stay the night. =
Rosemary found a place called Kiandra on the map, bound to be somewhere =
there, we thought. When we got there we found it was a ghost town !! =
Had to either sleep in the car or backtrack all the way to Cooma, which =
we did, staying at a motel called the Happy Man, I think - anyway, they =
had a pet wallaby with whom our (then) 4 year old daughter made good =
friends.
I'm sure all the Land Rover exporting ships will be far too full =
bringing Mitsubishis and the like back to the UK. Oh, and Monaros, the =
sporty one's quite highly rated here in the UK, though I've yet to see =
one.
Regards to all,
Anthony
