  "Lovers Leap - In 1762 Hannah Baddaley was the most beautiful girl in Stoney Middleton. Unable to face the future after being rejected by her lover, William Barnsley, she climbed the cliff above you, proclaimed her love for William and jumped. Her woollen petticoats billowed out and parachuted her down to safety. Cured of her desire for William, she died December 12th 1764."

  Extraordinary! My perspective on this is ex-Queanbeyan, as a kid in the 1950s living for some time on the railway line to Cooma (at the very end of Young St), and visiting Cooma often in my childhood. This looks like it was yesterday. Thank you for posting. :-)
