Platypus platform removed

Concluding a short and useless existence, the Platypus Viewing Platform near the main bridge in Bombala has been removed. Workers could be seen starting to remove timbers from the structure last week, and now almost all trace of the structure has been erased, with site rehabilitation to come. Full story on page 7.
Jindabyne Community Groups present aged care plan

The Jindabyne Community Development Association (JCDA) and the Jindabyne Action Group (JAG) held two meetings last week where local residents gathered at the Jindabyne Bowling and Sports Club. Aged care has been a topic of conversation throughout the region for many years and residents believe it is time to do something about getting an aged care facility in Jindabyne instead of the elderly having to leave town.

Life jacket saves fisherman’s life
..........................................................
Colin Oatley was heading out to an island on Lake Jindabyne for a few days of fishing when he was unceremoniously tossed out of his boat.
“I’ve only got a 10 foot boat and I was leaning forward to shift my weight to the front to get it going on full throttle when I hit a pot hole and dropped the tiller. The boat then did its first of about 37 donuts, throwing me out into the water,” says Colin. Read more on page 3.

Nice.... more safe, play space is needed for the community..... however after driving on the roads id like to see the same amount of work done in and around cooma numeralla bombala and nimitabel as there is going on in jindabyne.... grading dirt roads in the area will bring in much more 4wd camping and bush walking in our area, tourists love that off the beaten track life style for a change of pace. your counsel needs a serious advocate same as jindabyne has, so peeeps turn up and make a noise if you want better services.
He sure would Nikki!
Great idea
Can't wait!! Well over due.........
