It's the winter school holidays at the moment so what better way to celebrate than to go to the snow!!! Mum packed our bags full of warm snuggly clothes and ski gear, we picked up Mama and off we went to Falls Creek for a few days of ultimate coolness.
It's a long drive to Falls Creek so Mama organised some car games and quiz's for us to play which were heaps of fun. Mama also bought us a really cool movie to watch about some Mighty Ducks, which Dad tried very hard to convince us that we wouldn't like(but we knew it was just so he could watch it)!! We stopped in Benalla, which is the hometown of our very good friend Ellen, so we did the Ellen dance, after we'd had lunch of course. Then we continued on to Mt. Beauty to hire snowchains, where we found out that the road up the mountain was closed due to a fallen tree or 29!! We thought we'd go to the supermarket and get ANOTHER latte for Mum & Mama. Paddy needed his smelly bum changed too.
After all this we found out that the road was open so we all piled back into the car and made another attempt at driving up to Falls Creek only to be stopped halfway up the mountain at the Bogong Village for yet another fallen tree. After Waiting for what seemed forever Mum decided to get out of the car and ask the policeman what was going on and he told us that it had been VERY windy the night before and that we should probably go back down and have some dinner and that it might be clear by the time we get back. So we went down again and filled the car with petrol, ate some dinner at the pub, got into our snow gear and drove back up again.
On the way up we passed lots of fallen trees that had been moved some beautiful scenery and a big doofus who didn't know how the put on snow chains and lots of other big doofus's who didn't even have snow chains! We unpacked the car at the oversnow vehicle, which was a seriously bus-type thing that had caterpiller wheels, climbed aboard and then finally made it to our lodge, Koki or Kooky as Mama called it! We had a nice hot drink, a snack and then went to bed.
