SNOW IN AUSTRALIA

Watching a documentary on British TV the other evening it was shewing heavy snow falls in OZ.
Where do you get this snow and what severity ?

[Grunt]

We've got the Great Dividing Range which runs the almost all the way down the east coast of Australia and around the corner in Victoria. Mt. Kosciusko is the highest peak at a fairly pitiful 2200 metres (7300 feet). The southern part of the Great Dividing Range will get snow during our winter. This winter has been a good one for snow and there is over a metre of snow at the resorts in Victoria.

Don't know about residence but come on down for a holiday. Plenty of us here would love to show you around.

I believe it's pretty easy to get residence if you're young and have a trade, otherwise you just need big bags of money.

Hi Woody

I live in the north of New South Wales up on the New England Tablelands between the cities of Tamworth and Armidale.

I have attached a few photos of the snow we had in July 1984. It covered the tableland right up to the Queensland border that year, in fact it stretched right up the Great dividing range from Victoria to Queensland.

It has snowed here 3 times so far this year and has snowed yesterday not far from here east of Tamworth. In the summer it gets up to 42 degrees C here.

Message to Grunt,

Please don't tempt us (janet & John ) telephoned the local travel agent just now but I must have sounded too eager, price was over £700 each, and when we came over in January this year it was under £400 each. Anyway I left my telephone number with them and you never know they might ring back. They had to ring back three times last time, so I'm getting experienced.
To BarryW
We travelled that road in January this year over 40 it was. Dubbo to Armidale. Next day Armidale to Lismore via tentafield and Casino. I could imagine snow between Tent & Casino
