Barbecue area at Cabramurra NSW Australia

Last Sunday, I drove across the Snowy Mountains area of NSW. I took a wrong turn, luckily not far out of my way and ended up at Cabramurra. This barbecue area was part of the original town when the Snowy engineering took place; when dams were constructed to provide hydro electricity, domestic water and water for irrigation. Later, a new town started nearby where there was more protection during winter. The people who live here are employed by the Snowy Mountains Authority which maintains the hydro power. Cabramurra is the third highest town in Australia. Australia is not known for its high mountains and snow but Cabramurra has snow for three to four months of the year. There is a one teacher school for children but when of high school age they attend a school some distance away further down the mountains. A trip I made after this photo was taken. A long, winding and arduous journey that I would not like to do on a school bus. I took a return trip via a different route on Monday and made it through in rain, fog and sleet. I just beat the first snow which fell that night and it was eight weeks before the ski season. Some skeleton tree trunks can be seen here in the photo and are a result of the devastating bushfires of 2019/2020. These were small trees but elsewhere there are many massive and smaller dead trees amongst the regeneration. An eerie, unusual sight over a huge area. www.aussietowns.com.au/town/cabramurra-nsw
