Where do you get this snow and what severity ?

At the back fence there was about 50cm on the weekend, real ****** nice conditions to be out mending fence line for the last four days. Thats on the plains at about 1050m above sea level, beyond there it gets steeper and deeper. Up on the peaks there's about 2-2.1m at the moment, which should last for another month yet before the melt.

A little something to whet your appetite... Taken on Mt Bogong three weekends ago, about an hour after sunrise.

Far too cold for me I came to Australia for the Sun and beaches, although must admit have been down to the snow just to make sure it really snowed in Aus.

Jow, what do you do for a crust it might be easier than you think...

Now retired , but I reckon I did everything but earnt nothing.

Been alive since halfway through the last century, and have never seen snow in Australia. I think all the above photos are fakes.

The attached photo was taken at 9.00am yesterday at Double Island Point. Some of the guys still have jumpers on because there is still a chill in the air (about 22°c at the time) about half the surfers had wetsuits with the water temperature at just 20° (bbrrrrrr.)

The white stuff isn't snow.

For those in Melbourne, the blue stuff at the top of the picture is sky.

Cheers!!
:D :D :D

We don't just like it,

If you've got kids try and convince them to come out here, once the majority of your kids are here they can get you out too.

I dunno about that, some of the grandchildren are a problem. One of them called me gay the other day because I had my legs crossed,
and she's only 7 years old.

So they still let people at Double island point hey. I have been there. 4wd with the family. Absolutely gorgeous. You lucky bugga!!

Saturday newspapers here in the UK today advertising Qantas fare return to Oz in November £489. So I will most probably get up to my usual trick of telephoning in that month and seeing if there are any empty seats going really cheap.

Let's know if & when you decide to come. I'm sure you'll find no shortage of woodies happy to catch up with you & show you around.

Cheers

Many thanks all for kind invitations, Janet and I will be pleased to let you know of our plans.

Janet and John

Of course, some days are better than others... (yes, that is ice in my beard!)

Gee Whizz I have that look without getting ice in it! :D

We had some rain in Boscastle (Cornwall). Did you see the cars exceeding the speed limit down the high street?
