21st June 2011 One Last Time

Today was another very misty low cloud day again...and it was obvious that it would be snowing up the mountains...I suggested to John we go for one last drive towards Falls Creek and see if we can catch it snowing again...We didn't pick up any chains which is compulsory now as we only intended to go as far as when we could see snow and maybe catch it snowing one last time..we  took some chicken and decided we would have a little picnic lunch up there....


We got about half way up and still no snow on the ground but it was raining quite heavy...then all of a sudden we turned a bend and there it was THICK snow on the ground everywhere...

 I know I have been raving on about the snow...but its just lovely we cannot get enough of it..we were so pleased to see it again, and then the rain changed to snow and I got my wish it was snowing....

As you can see by the pictures the road was well covered in snow which was very sloshy and because of the  winding roads we could not turn around yet till we came to a bay...it was a bit of a worry not having chains with us...


We finally came to a bay and turned in, another car was there trying to fit chains to the wheels...We decided to have our picnic lunch in the car and watch it snow....

After lunch John decided to venture out of the car and try and help them...

I was getting a bit worried as it was snowing heavy and the car was covered in snow...and we had to get down the mountain before it was impossible to go without chains...so we left the guys still trying to put the chains on....


We still managed to take a few more pictures on way down...so sad to leave it ... I just love it up there its so beautiful...
