WE start the day at Cooma's Sonwy Hydro Discovery Centre where we learnt about the  irrigation & electricity scheme, how it was built and is still today being expanded.  Such an amazing feat that shows how advanced Australia was when the scheme was first dreamt up and then built.  

We visited the town of Adaminaby, which was actually moved, house by house, (brick by brick for the church), away from its original site, which was to be flooded, to its new site, 6 miles away.  To have heard about it was not as exciting as to actually see it as it stands today.  

After a tour of the Snowy Scheme Museum, we lunch at the Adaminaby School of Arts Memorial Hall where the main attraction was the hand embroidered stage curtain. 

An interesting talk by the Curate at St Johns Church Adaminaby was the final official stop of our tour, but one last stop at Berridale to feed Dorothy the emu an apple provided much entertainment.  

Everyone on the trip agreed it was one of the best trips they had been on, and some would even do it again.
