Not that Cooma is bereft of culture, with an active amateur theatre, art galleries, an arts council, a movie complex… not discounting the multicultural mix of the population.
There are also numerous sporting and other lifestyle pursuits, including golf, tennis, football, squash, swimming, bocce, shooting, flying, gliding, car club, an active Bridge Club, an annual horseracing carnival…
The region also hosts numerous special interest events, such as an annual agricultural show, show jumping, open gardens…
The region also offers a climate for those who enjoy a full range of climatic conditions, generally with low humidity, including ready access to beaches in summer and snow in winter.
With low cost housing, good shopping, and excellent health facilities, the Monaro is an excellent location for young and old alike.
