American technology company International Innovations has presented the Bombala Shire Council with a plan for a monorail linking the southern Monaro's softwood plantations, a proposed new timber mill at Bombala and the far south coast chip mill near Eden in NSW. The company says that they could build the new monorail for AU$1 million a kilometre - a figure well under the cost of constructing a major road.
ABC has reported this week on a plan that could revolutionise the transport of timber.
