Cooma Travel Guide

Activities in Cooma vary from just simply walking around enjoying the country scenery and air, to travelling less than one hour to the snow fields.  Due to the country nature and recently dry environment snakes and lizards are plenty.  Food and restaurants are sufficient for you to stop by and enjoy a nice meal, mainly in the form of take away.  General impressions of the place are that it is a country town with not much going on, however behind the scenes the locals are having a lot of fun!  I'm not sure about hotels and accommodation there, but I know that it is a relatively small place with only about 12,000 people.  This means that most people know each other which can make it hard to fit in, however if you are holidaying it is a lovely place.  Nightlife is generally non-existent due to the cold weather, so bring your warm gear for 9 months of the year.  Transportation is generally done by car because there is a lack of public transport.
