NSW Government is considering a train line from Canberra/Queanbeyan to Eden via Cooma and Bombala. Over the next 20 years. Just in time for Next Zero. But also 140 years after my Great Grandfather proposed the same.

Back end of the thunderstorm that has just dumped some rain on Canberra Ngunnawal Country. Storms last quite a bit longer in this alpine valley than down at Naarm - which for an avid fan of thunderstorms is a bonus (beyond all the nature, mountains etc).

G'day...
