Lila Cooma Whore ❤️

About Wollongong

I’d joke with her, “Girl, you a walkin’ movie!” She’d roll her eyes, say, “Shut up, cashier man.” Loved that sass—kept me goin’ through them long shifts. But damn, the sadness in her eyes? Like that scene where they’re sittin’ in silence, countin’ down days. “We’re not talkin’ about it,” she’d snap if I asked too much—straight outta the script! Made me wanna hug her, tell her she’s enough.

Cooma is the main town of the Monaro region. It is metres above sea level. The name could have derived from an Aboriginal word Coombah, meaning ‘big lake’ or ‘open country’. Cooma .

Walking 'round, I notice little details others miss—a worn-down bench on Callister Lane that tells stories, or a crazy tree that kinda looks like it’s dancing with the wind. Sometimes these odd bits make me chuckle, other times they just haunt me, like, “What da heck happened here?” But anyway, every day’s an adventure.
