I didn't even know it snowed in Australia until I got FTX and started nosing around the web to see whats down it that part of the world.

A little history.

The Snowy Mountains, known informally as "The Snowies", are the highest Australian mountain range and contain the Australian mainland's highest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, which reaches 2,228 metres AHD.

The range contains the five highest peaks on the Australian mainland, all above 2100 metres. They are located in southern New South Wales and are part of the larger Australian Alps and the Great Dividing Range. This is mainland Australia's only true Alpine region with large natural snowfalls every winter. Snow normally falls the most during June, July and Early August. Most of the snow has melted by Late Spring. The Tasmanian highlands are the other Alpine region in Australia.

I've been skiing in the snowy mountains, great fun. I can't believe you blokes didn't know it snowed in Australia, its not all good sun and great beaches, not in winter anyway.

Looking forward to the Australian winter very much... snowy scenes, and maybe even some rain when I turn on the 'real world weather'. Rain in Australia.... a rare event. Nice pics!
