skiing in australia, as you do

Another positive to staying with international friends is when they have 4000 acre farms close by to mountain ranges. A group of 16 of us road tripped up to Rich's farm in Khancoban, about a 5 hour journey from Melbourne set by the Kosciuszko National Park. It was a great weekend of multiple outdoor activities mountain-biking, dirtbike riding, horseriding, river kayaking to names a few. We also took a day trip up to Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains to go skiing for the day. The weather was perfect as
we
got some fresh snow on the way up making it a great drive through a winter wonderland! We made a quick stop off along the way for me to go and play with the
kangaroos that were just hanging out along the roadside, aww. Having not skied for something like 8 years i had slight fear that i had forgotten how exactly to maneuver the two long planks attached to my feet but luckily after a few initial slippery turns i regained some former knowledge of what to do and managed to go the whole day without falling over, wahey!
