A word from
www.gungahlin.net
I have been visiting the Adaminaby region for over 25 years now.
The region holds a special part of my life, and I lived in
Adaminaby and Cooma when I was growing up. I personally
think the Adaminaby region is the best in Australia. It
has 4 distinct seasons and the winter is a special time. I
vividly remember walking through the snow to catch the Adaminaby
bus and head to school in Cooma.
Now I am older I visit the region as often
as I can. These days it is trout fishing that draws me
there. My dad and I can be seen many times each year
sitting on the bank at Old Adaminaby in all weather (the snowy
days are our favourite!). We fish and chat, have a beer
and talk about what the area would have been like before the
lake was 'made'. How the town of Adaminaby would have been
- it's cinema, its Saturday night dances, its community spirit.
When ever we fish at Old Adaminaby we stay
at Rainbow Pines Tourist Park. We book a caravan
(usually no. 15!). We fish late, then head back up the
bank to our carvan. We know the van and park will always
be clean, cosy and inviting. The facilities at Rainbow
Pines are fantastic. There's nothing better than a hot
shower and warm bed after a feeezing nights fishing.
We were last at Rainbow Pines in May 2005
and, as usual, the service and facilities were great - we just
wish the fish were as accommodating! We'll be back! -
Call Rainbow Pines Tourist Park on (02) 6454 2317 and tell them
I sent you!
