A Journey to the Snowy Mountains
Last weekend, my friends and I went on a 2-day road trip from Sydney to the Snowy Mountain Range! The idea of this adventure began three days before I was suppose to fly back to my home city of Perth after spending 3 weeks in Sydney.
The Snowy Mountains are the highest mountain range in mainland Australia where large snows fall every winter. It is the only part of the mainland Australia where constant snowfalls happen every winter season.
A breakfast stopover at Wollongong City 2.5hours from Sydney. It’s name means “songs of the seas” in the Aboriginal language!
The journey continues with a climb to the mountains from the beautiful beaches of Wollongong with the company of our great friend “Tomtom” the satellite navigation device. Without Tomtom we would not be able to reach our destination!
A long and winding road.
At 7pm, after a one day of driving we finally reached our final destination - Perisher Blue - Australia’s biggest ski resort! It was a long day but it was worth the time and effort after experiencing the first glance of snow fall in the freezing cold night!
And now time for a ski!
I would like to recommend to everyone to visit the Australia’s Snowy Mountains and experience the skiing adventure. It should be on your list of things to do before you reach the age of 30!

Nice photos too! They are very clear and sharp.
How cold was it at Perisher? Did you have any temperature readings?
The temperature range is from -5 to 2deg.. I guess when we were there the temperature was below -2..
