More snow fun

Hi lovelies, I want to share with you some photos of our last 3 days.  This post will be photo heavy, but hopefully not too boring for you. We returned to Perisher on Sunday, and while we had left early so we could take advantage of the day, when we arrived at Bullocks Flat Skitube Station we discovered that Robbie had forgotten his bag with his clothes 😂.  So it was back to Buckenderra to collect his bag and then back to Bullocks Flat to catch the train.  It added about an 1 1/2 hours to our travel time, but we really had nothing but time.   We arrived at Perisher and were just in time to attend the church service. This is the highest church in Australia, and it was a lovely service and the small church was pretty packed. The service runs for 1/2 hour.  Just enough time for 2 songs, some prayer, announcements and then the message.  We then went back to the hotel and booked into our room.  Another one with a lovely view. A spot of lu...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...

Christmas in July

Hi lovelies, Another fabulous day. Today I got up around 6am, and it was a little warmer than yesterday’s -4.   No frozen pipes or crunchy mats and shoes. When I poked my nose out of the van there were these lovely skippies having their breakfast.     A lovely view.   There was the odd gust of nippy wind so I did not stay outside too long. This morning we headed into Cooma to grab a part from the hardware store.   Surprisingly there was a market on at the same time.   What could we do but wander around. We got some award winning honey from a local supplier.   I managed to grab a beanie from the local CWA stall, and Robbie grabbed one from the Cancer Council Stall.   Then a trip to the tourist centre to get some info on going to the snow fields.   That then lead to a trip to the ski hire store where we got fitted out for some fun in the next few days. There were lots and lots of people heading ba...
