Bare trees line the hillside behind

a grimy window casting flat light across the room

Dalgety Down The Range Size:L Bare trees line the hillsideA dusty road winds down through the high country toward the remote settlement of Dalgety, the Snowy River valley opening out below. The Monaro tableland spread across some 16,000 km of southern New South Wales, and Dalgety sat at its edge, surveyed in 1874 and once evaluated as a potential site for Australia's national capital.
