Gudday
Heard on the radio Thredbow had snow falls, a night low of -4C and a day temp of 7C. That would have been Wed or Thurs......so much for summer

Duh! Somehow I forgot that the only real snowfall in your part of the world is at altitude in NZ, right?

We get a small cover of snow up on the higher hills in winter, but we are in mid summer at the moment....

Some people regard NZ as part of Australia, but officially not yet. We get snow on the Australian Alps, but anyone who is a skiing enthusiast discovers that Australian snow is inferior, lift tickets exorbitant, accomodation and food both expensive. It is cheaper to go to NZ or Japan.

Snow - overrated I reckon

I've only seen it once and that was in the north of South Australia, perhaps the last place you'd expect.
I simply could not believe how cold it was, I'd driven 50 miles from home and gone from a sunny, warmish winter morning to a freezing, overcast, winter landscape I had no idea I would ever see in South OZ.

Overrated ??? you've got to be kidding!
Check these out, absolutely magnificent!!
The snow monkeys were about 45 mins away from our village. They laze about in these hot springs for ages during winter, not at all bothered by inquisitive humans.

I love the snow used to go regularly to Falls Creek and have been Skiing in France too.
Im crap at it skiing but love having a go.

Falls Creek is great. I spent the season there in '71
