DALGETY - nearly the national capital on the banks of the SNOWY RIVER
	In 1904 Dalgety made the news as the possible site for the national Capital however in the last ballot the vote went to Canberra.
	Dalgety was first named Buckley’s Crossing in 1837, after the Buckley brothers who used to drove sheep across the Snowy River where the bridge now stands. In 1880 the Township of “Dalgety” was surveyed by Mr J R Campbell, who called the town Dalgety which was his wife’s maiden name.
	During the 1880’s Dalgety had two hotels, two stores, a courthouse / police station, Blacksmith, a public school, post office, two churches and several private homes. Since then there has also been a bush nursing outpost, a butcher shop, several halls, a garage and a caravan park. The town remains the last example of Snowy towns (Jindabyne and Adaminaby having been flooded).
	A visit to Dalgety on the first Sunday in March gives travellers a taste of country life at the Agricultural show held each year.
