For this week’s Golden Oldie we have a great old photo of the first mail coach that ran between Cooma and Bombala. The service began in 1890 and given the condition of the coach in this image it’s likely just been built and ready for service. The photo comes to us courtesy of Colin O’Donoghue.
If anyone knows more about the stage coach service and/or who might be the men pictured in this week’s photo, we’d love to hear from you.
