I dont have a .......   So I am able to come and go when I want. I was out at Wallace's place enjoying a delicious home cooked THAI meal that Poonie provided and thought, "Why not treat Wallace & Poonie to a day trip to the Snow". We arranged it almost too perfectly. We set out early Sunday morning and took the senic trip around the outskirts of Melbourne's north. Coming out at Healsville the off to Marysville, where we turned off and headed up to "Lake Mountain" which is about an hour from Melbourne if you take a more direct route.    The last part of the journey was very senic through a native timber forrest and into the National Park where everyone no matter where they are from pay the same Entrance fee (lol) Poonie wanted to play on the road but Wallace didnt like that idea so pulled her back. Then it was back into the car as we were almost there.     Another stop another photo shoot..........  And finally we arrived. Lake Mountain is a launching place for cross country skiers and has a pad for first timers to play in the snow and kids to break out the tobogan for a short ride on the side of a hill.  Poonie's first expierence of snow...Poonie posing (she is getting the hang of it now)Poonie training for the "Winter Olympics"Then the "Snow fight" started with Poonie throwing the first snowball....

 ....STRIKE lol After the fight Poonie got down to some very serious Snowman building, until even she was driven indoors as it started sleeting. So it was time to head out of there'We tool a more direct route home stopping in Richmond for another Thai dinner washed down with a few beers. Just another pleasent Sunday

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun........

Nice journal, Gav.

@ points though.

Poor Poonie must have been freezing her ti, I mean, she must have been very cold.

On the last photo, you shuld have cleaned your camera lense, cuase there are two specks of dust just where Wallace's eyes should be

Good to see you back mate:)

Thanks Stu

I will get my little lens brush out and dust it off straight away 555

aaaaahhhh Gav shame about u owning a Ford,lol

The pics are terriffic and hope Poonie & Wallace are doing well,no doubt Wallaces fridge is being well stocked now!lol

Nice photos Gav, Hope the Black Spur was't to "Winding" starting to warm up now!!

Nice to see a Thai snow bunny......

Sorry I couldnt join you guys for lunch...

How did you get the Ford over the Spur ? Did you go up in reverse ?

................

lol A ford is a lot better than walking

I was wondering what happened to those two.

I guess once you pair up, it's better to stay away from all the temptation lurking all over TF.

Lovely journal and nice to see wallace and poonie there.... thanks for sharing kha P'Gav...

Poonie looks very happy...I would like to go there at the same time Poonie goes, but I have to work!!!!! Anyway, October is a good time to visit Australia too. SEE YOU IN OCTOBER BROTHER GAV.

Thanks Gav for posting the journal, and that was actually the second time I went to a snow mountain even I lived in Melbourne for almost 20 years I felt like a tourist too ~

envyyyyyyyyyyy very much

Hey GAV that is a great journal - Poonie and Wallace look very happy, and it's great to see our friends again - even if only in photos!

Poonie looks very pretty as usual, and Wallace doesn't have any eyes...also as usual...hehe! Where was the self portrait though - GAV in Snowman form?

Can't say I envy you about the snow side of the trip - but each to their own - as long as everyone had a good time - thats all that matters!

Send our best to Poonie and Wallace too - always the best of luck for the future to those two!
