I used to go shopping to cooma from jindabyne with my parents, 1950 to 1956.we were displaced persons from Europe.I remember the shops.with their overhead cable system where the sales person would put the money in a little container together with a sales docket and pull a cord send the money to a cashier other side of the shop and then receive the change.I remember seeing a huge bread slicer machine where they sliced your bread for you.sadly old jindabyne is no more. cooma was once a boom town.
yes,I remember Cooma.we lived in old Jindabyne 1950's and used to travel 35 miles to cooma once a month to do some shopping and buy things you could not get in Jindabyne.my dad worked on the snowy scheme.I attended jindabyne public school we were displaced persons from Europe.anyone with photos of old jindayne or the old public school would love to have a copy.
