This was just a VERY quick lo to try to get some of our holiday pics scrapped for an album.
Hopefully this will be the first, but not the last. Nothing fancy, just finally got some scrapped.

July 23rd 2006.
After leaving Milawa, we drove up through the mountains headed for the snow country. We drove up through Myrtleford to Bright, and on the way I said I would like to go up into the snow, (I couldn't remember the last time I had been to the snow) but I didn't really fancy taking the car and fussing with hiring chains etc. Bruce suggested we got a bus up, but just as he suggested it we saw the bus leaving Bright on its way to Harrietville.
We decided we would follow the bus and get on at Harrietville, so thats what we did. After a lot of messing around trying to get tickets and get into secure parking etc. we finally boarded the bus for the trip up the mountains. It was really scary, BIG drops over the side of the road, and as I am terrified of heights I was having kaniptions! I'm sure there was beautiful scenery, but I didn't see much of it, I was too scared to look. We still had beautiful warm and sunny weather for most of the journey, but that soon changed about 20 minutes out of Mount Hotham. We certainly weren't dressed, or in any way prepared for going to the snow. We both had jackets and jumpers with us, but we were only wearing runners and jeans, not great attire for the snow. When we got up to Mount Hotham it was
-3 deg, snowing and quite gusty. We caught the 'zoo bus' for a tour around the village, not that we got to see much because it was snowing quite heavily and the windows were completely misted up, but what we did see was beutiful. We spent 2 1/2 hours in the village taking photo's, looking around and having coffee, but all too soon it was time for us to get back on the bus and head down the mountain again. It was still blowing a blizzard on the journey down, but at least it was dark and I couldn't see the drop.
After a great day we stayed in Harrietville for the night.
I can't believe that a great deal of those beautiful mountains we travelled through, once covered in the most beautiful trees, has suffered so badly in the recent bushfires. Thankfully, so far, Mt. Hotham village has survived.
