Located on a picturesque stretch of river, there is a viewing platform and easy access to get down to the river bank. During our visit there were at least three platypuses active and easily visible. There are picnic tables so bring a picnic. No toilet facilities however.

Former Bombala railway station closed in 1986 but has been nicely preserved.

Unlike in Victoria, in NSW typically the government is proscribed from immediately ripping up closed rail lines. Cooma to Bombala closed in 1986. I had travelled on the 'Cooma Mail' from Sydney prior to that but not south of Cooma. The railway station building - a typical weatherboard standardised type favoured by the NSW Government Railways - is extant as is the fettlers' shed and other outbuildings. The rail yard with at least three tracks including points remains, as does at the Sydney (up) end the turntable. There are also three wagons including a louvre van and a tank wagon, with most nicely freshly painted. One room has a good chronological display of the rail line's history. The goods shed also remains. It's an easy walk across the Bombala River from quaintly named Maybe Street. Well done to the townsfolk for preserving it. A shame it's no longer open.
