Down the slopes

The Very Top of Australia!

Back on the Schoolbus!

In search of snow
... to get out the door at 10.30 and avoid any comedian receptionists trying to charge me for an extra day. I had a gentle drive southwards to Thredbo – a journey of only a 100 miles or so and as such I had no need to rush. So I didn't. The ...
The Ride

Into the mountains
