'The Snow'

---

Hello all

After Goulburn we HAD planned to slip down to the South Coast of NSW and spend a week or so (between Nowra & Batemans Bay) and hopefully a little more pleasant weather, put the boat in the water, do a spot of fishing, eat oysters/seafood and veg out. But when there was late snowfalls at The Snowy, we decided we should bite the bullet, grit our teeth and bear the cold and head there instead, since the other 3 have never seen snow. So we headed off to Jindabyne and did a day-trip to Thredbo. Not much snow left there now - some very minor stuff, 2 days old, high up in the peaks. We took the chairlift at Thredbo and 'did' the trek to the Mt Kosciuszko Lookout (about 6km/return from the top of the chairlift). ANOTHER 8km/return and we could have trudged all the way to the top of Australia - but we figured we'd all done enough - none of us us is very fit..... Anyhow, we DID see some snow and throw snowballs at eachother and built a snowman and had a ball!!! - and were glad we went. The temperature where we were (up there) was 2deg but a wind-chill factor of -8deg. Anyhow - here's the pics to prove we WERE there. Next stop is Canberra. Hope all of you are well and working hard !!!!!!!!
