#thredbo — Public Fediverse posts

Took a bunch of Cub Scouts up to Australia's snowfields last weekend for a Winter Camp. Despite there being almost no snow, we had a great time!

Personal highlights were a walk in the high country at Bullocks Flat and along the Thredbo River (including a Scout's Own stop to draw the landscape) and a sunset at the top of Blue Cow.

For some of the Cubs it was the first or second time they had ever seen snow and that enthusiasm is hard to beat.

Snowball fights, frozen streams, campfire stories and skits, snow gums, lakes, skitubes, mossy riverbanks, icicles and much, much more.

we’re at #Thredbo in #Kosciusko for a couple of days – coming back down from Eagle’s Nest on the chair lift we see a woman heading up with her mountain bike for her next run of the day…

as she passes we overhear her on the phone: “oh, yeah… I’m in a meeting at the moment but I’ll get back to you…” 😆 🤘

Hi Jen! Good question!!

Generally Australia does not experience wide spread #snow falls during #winter but we do have what’s knows as our #HighCountry in the State of Victoria.

We do have #snowfields, good skiing in general. Most of Victoria's alpine resorts lie to the north-east of Melbourne. Anywhere from say 2 to 4.5 hrs drive from our capital city Melbs.

These are a few of Victoria’s snowfields: #LakeMountain, #MtBawBaw, #MtBuller and #MtStirling, #MtHotham and #FallsCreek.

These👇are stock photos (source: https://www.visitvictoria.com/see-and-do/outdoor-and-adventure/snow-and-skiing/mt-buller and various), and #snow will start dumping early next month im guessing.

#newsouthwales has awesome snowfields. The largest ski resort in the #SouthernHemisphere is #Perisher. It has 47 lifts, plenty of runs, five terrain parks and around 100km of cross country trails. In #Thredbo you can ski Australia’s longest runs.

The Australian State of a #Tasmania, the island located to the south of Victoria, experiences flurries and snow falls throughout winter too. It’s closer to the #SouthPole. #Tassie is a gorgeous part of our country. 👏👍

PS I’m sure I’ve left out a load of other locations.

Almost a week in #thredbo, and we leave in the morning. Haven’t thought about work once, what a cracker of a break.
92km of riding, and 32km of hiking, all up.

It golly gee I am having a lot of fun.

This walk - Dead Horse Gap from Eagles Nest - was sensational.

That’s enough for today, my body is starting to get quite weary, and I don’t need to attack sketchy trails when tired. But I’ve had a ball today, I’m having a beer, and then I’ll shower and treat myself to a steak dinner for my solo night. #thredbo #funthough
