Was Out and about in my local stomping ground with my brother during the week and having a good look around the mine and the settlement areas as we do, and ran into some so called Government Officials at the mine dam wall (guessing from Cooma Council) before we ran into them we noticed there had been works done on the dam wall and creek clearing of all plant life.
Thought that they might be reopening the mine, but from coming up from the bottom we ran into the so called government Officials taking photos of the wall and had a chat.
First of all was told we shouldn't be on site (No signage Anywhere) as it was closed, and without fuss moved on but I can say is that it looks like they are going to fence the whole site as its a OH&S Risk..(Surprise NOT) I understand and get why but really. Why now the last time the mine was open was in the 1980's 40 years later and they think they need to fence it off... Starting to rant lol thought I would share the information.
Cheers,
Muddy
