Protests Grow Over Khancoban to Cabramarra Road Closure
Protests erupted in Cooma and surrounding Monaro districts after Minister for Lands Mr Lewis announced the Khancoban Cabramarra road would be closed this winter. Local stock agents fear disrupted winter sales as semi trailers must reroute via Canberra and Tumut due to the Alpine Way's 11 mile downhill stretch. Cooma Mayor Alderman A H Johnson called the move thoughtless, and the Cooma Municipal Council pledged to seek a reversal. Snowy River shire clerk Eric Thorpe also confirmed objections from his council.
