Eureka - the snow arrived

We finally got some snow this week and although it has melted a little after a couple of days there is still enough to play in.

The view at 7.30am this morning - epic! Pink mountains and crisp white show. Chilly outside at -7degC.

The trees looked fabulous on the first morning after the snow fell. School was still on but we had to walk rather than travel by bus or car. It was a real pleasure given the beautiful scenery.

The crunchy snow gives very clear evidence of animal activity - mainly rabbits plus a visit from foxy loxy.

We dusted off our snowboards and we're now thinking of piling more snow on this slope to create a better run!

We've had lots of folks staying over Christmas and New Year including Kerri and Russell from Hervey Bay, Oz. They followed our blog last year and were pleased to be able to see the house for real.
