Bom Bala Bank Beginnings and Fires at Bombala Past
Bom bala saw three fine two storey bank buildings after the early sixties when the Commercial began, with Mr Stiles as first secretary, and NSW Bank in a cottage later. Fire destroyed many premises in the seventies, jury recalls coroner Mr Joseph Stafford, and the court house was a poor cottage. Dragons hotel site near Cathcart survived as a landmark, while Jews Flats in Cooma district served as an old meeting centre for early Monaro settlers and Boxing Day sports hosted by Jack Cullen.
