Snow Day

One day I will get the hang of this and post in the right order. I sure as heck aint going to type the post again which you will find at the bottom!

Somewhere out there are mountains???????????

Beautiful day for walk?

Walking or rather standing and freezing in a winter wonderland

Pine Lake

Lone Pine

On wednesday we went to visit the snow, some of you may think big deal, but for us who originally come from Western Aystralia where it never snows its a thing. Thinking back the last time we saw snow was about 15 years ago when we lived in North east Victoria and took the kids up Mt Selwyn.

Any way we set off a day the wether people on the TV had assured us would be fine but we soon found out that thye lied as we drove through the rain to Deloraine. Perhaps we should have taken this as a siogn but no after buying our lunch we pressed on. Hearts full of hope. We turned off towards Meander and somehow missed our turnoff and drove all the way to Meander which we were not supposed so then had to turn around and drive all the way back to the turn off to the Lakes Highway. It wasnt too long befoire we started to see white lumps by the side of the road and the anticipation began to build as too did the rain. Drove past a lookout which I am sure was very nice but considering visibility is now about 10metres we didnt see the point in stopping. Apparently as I have since been told we were at this time completely surrounded by mountains but who knew?

We got out at Pine Lake and took the boardwalk amongst the very old little pines some of which are a thousand years old and related to the giant Redwoods. It was quite magical though extremely cold as we walked enclosed by the mist.
