n Local historian Leigh Stewart has launched his latest contribution to the stories of the Monaro with the publication of Historic Adaminaby, a collection of photographs dating back to 1870. In pictures both black and white and colour, the publication follows the story of Adaminaby almost from the time of settlement,
through its flooding and relocation to make way for the Snowy Scheme, to the present day.
The publication recalls the days in 1924 when a railway line was surveyed between Cooma and Adaminaby, but it was never built. It also records that at the turn of the century, Adaminaby rivaled Cooma in size.
Mr Stewart said he first thought of the idea of producing his publication two years ago and it was just a matter of acquiring the necessary photographs - more than 130 of them.
Young
A copy of an 88-yearold booklet that promoted Young to British citizens wishing to migrate to Australia has been unearthed in a Sydney museum and sent to Young Shire Council.
It is the fourth booklet of a series issued by The Country Promotion League and the Commonwealth Immigration Department to explain the immigration and population policy of the day, and advertise the attractions of country towns to people living in Great Britain.
It is inscribed in handwriting ‘to Papa with much love from Douglas and Bruce, May 1922’.
