 North of Cooma , the highway follows the same general path as the railway alignment as far as the area of Bunyan . From there , it continues along the same rough heading and crosses the Numeralla River just prior to its confluence with the Murrumbidgee River . The road then follows the Murrumbidgee downstream at some distance to its east . The highway continues on towards Bredbo and crosses the Bredbo River as it enters the village . The highway takes on the name Cooma Street through Bredbo and crosses over the railway yet again just north of the town . Further to the north , the road passes through <unk> Gap to the east of Round Hill . Mount Colinton is now visible to the highway 's east , and a larger range known as the Clear Range is visible to west . The ridgeline of the Clear Range forms the eastern border of the ACT in this area . Heading further downstream , continuing the distant parallel of the Murrumbidgee , the road enters Michelago and crosses the railway a final few times as the railway winds through the area . It does not enter the urban area of Michelago itself and instead passes to the west of the village . North of Michelago the road and railway parallel each other very closely as they head towards the ACT border at the north end of the Clear Range . The road crosses the border just east of Cunningham Hill .
