Kunama is a rural locality in the South West Slopes of New South Wales, situated 9 km (5.6 mi) west of Batlow at an altitude of approximately 1,000 m (3,300 ft). The region is largely one of apple produce.
History
The area was established in the 1850s. The Kunama branch railway, also known as Batlow line, was completed in 1923 as an extension to the Tumut line, branching off at a junction close to Gilmore and was formally closed, in 1957.[3]
Climate
Elevated by almost 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and windward of the ranges, Kunama experiences particularly cold and snowy winters.[4]
