  Walkabout - Adaminaby
The original town of Adaminaby (which is now under the waters of Lake Eucumbene) came into existence in 1885 although pastoralists had been in the area since the early 1830s.
John Cosgrove and Charles and Henry York were the first settlers and they named one of their large land holdings Adaminaby (probably spelt Adamindumee and possibly meaning either 'a camping or resting place' or 'place of springs' in the language of the local Aborigines).
For filmgoers the Old Adaminaby Race Track (located on the road to Rosedale on the Cooma side of the town) was used in the film Phar Lap.

 Adaminaby Access Road - 25/11/1992 - PRIV
For a number of years, since Adaminaby was moved from its former location on Lake Eucumbene, the town has been isolated because the only link road between it and any form of civilisation and possibility of growth is the road between Cooma and Adaminaby and Adaminaby and Tumut - the Snowy Mountains Highway.
During the past 20 years or so since the Adaminaby township was moved various undertakings have been given by governments, and local councils - including the Snowy River shire and the Cooma-Monaro shire at different times - to provide assistance to the residents of Adaminaby in having the road upgraded.
The problem is that the township of Adaminaby is currently within the Snowy River shire, however, the main part of the road linking Adaminaby and Canberra is in the Cooma-Monaro shire.
