South Coast to the Snowy Mountains. The 5th, and last Day. ( Monday 10th February).
The last day, Cooma to Braidwood. via Numeralla, Boggy Plain, Snowball, Jindan and Krawarree, then onto Goulburn and then the highway home.
We awoke to, what we thought at first was fog, a smoke covered Cooma. Apparently the smoke was coming from the Victorian bushfires some 150 km (95 miles), as the crow flies, away.

Ned Kelly, alive and well in Numeralla.
All Saints Catholic Church (1914), Numeralla. The smaller wooden building in the background is St. John's Anglican Church.
Even the semi-trailer that came the other way didn't make her move.
An Echidna (spiny anteater) digs in under a fallen tree.
A new weed for me, Purple Loosestrife. Pretty though.
It was all happening at Krawarree. Six helicopters, fire trucks and a fuel tanker. We couldn't see any indication of fires, it was a day of high temperature so they might have just been getting prepared.
Morning tea near the Ballalaba Bridge over the Shoalhaven River.

The Shoalhaven River. It was all pretty dry around here, and hot. From the bridge I saw a nice sized fish.
Braidwood.
Some say this bakery is the best in the universe. They do make nice cakes.
Ornate bits and pieces in Braidwood.
'Come in, We are CLOSED' (?) I should have gone back after dark.
Only those who have held up a bank or robbed a stage-coach can eat here. Also, only those who's name begins with 'L'
can go between 11.30 and 2.30, and those who's name start with 'D' can eat between 5.30 and 8.30.
