The town of Cooma has a population just over 7,000. It is located on the eastern edge of the Snowy Mountains region and was the construction centre for the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme. Cooma is only an hours drive from the ski slopes, and because of its close location, becomes a popular and busy destination in the winter months. |
