Crackenback Trip - Day 8
Day 8
– 31/3/2012 - Recovery
Due
to the celebrations the day before, it was a bit of a slow start to
the day by most people.
John
knew how much Lisa and Ian love the “My Family” stickers, so John
and Michael decorated their Subaru.

Crackenback Trip - Day 4
Day 4
– 27/3/2012 - Cooma to Crackenback
We woke
up to a cold and foggy morning. We dropped the Pajero off at 8am at
the mechanics. By staying the night in Cooma it probably worked out
better. We were able to leave the camper in the van park 80% packed
up while the Pajero was in getting fixed.

Snowy Mountains Trip - Day 13
Day 13 - 7/5/2011 - Mt Kosciuszko Day Trip
Today was the day that Lisa, Ian and I were going to conquer Mt Kosciuszko!!!! Again it was an early start because we knew the walk from the top of Thredbo takes 3 to 5 hours and the weather can change fairly quickly so the earlier the start the better. It was a beautiful clear and cold day - couldn’t have asked for better for the climb! The temperature dropped to -2.4 degrees overnight and there was a good frost in the morning. It was a toasty 18deg inside the house due to the central heating. When we left Jindabyne at about 8am, it was about 1 deg, so we knew it was going to be cold at the top of Thredbo and Kosciuszko, especially with the wind chill factor!

Snowy Mountains Trip - Day 12
Day 12 - 6/5/2011 - Murray 2 Power Station Day Trip (inc Old Geehi Hut)
It was an early start because it was our last chance to do a tour of a Snowy Hydro power station. The tours only run during the week and this was our last chance before we started heading out of the Snowy Mountains region. Today Evelyn and Allan, (Jodies parents), joined us on a day trip to see the Murray 2 Power Station. We knew the tours were only conducted at 11am and 1pm so we left at about 7.45am so we would get there in time for the 11am tour. After talking to a few locals they said that it takes about 2-2.5 hours to go the 80 odd kilometers from Jindabyne to Khancoban due to the winding roads.
We drove from the house through to the centre of Jindabyne and then took the Alpine Way turn-off (near the Big 4 Caravan Park). On the way out along Alpine Way towards Thredbo and beyond, there was thick frost everywhere. You could see the water which was running out of the gutters and drains by the side of the road had frozen and was forming little icicles. It was just amazing to see the landscape with the light layer of frost over everything. The Pajero was showing an outside temperature of -1 deg and the little warning light for “snow on the road”. You never get to see that symbol in Bundaberg!!!!
It was quite a steep and winding drive from the west side of Thredbo to the Murray 2 Power Station. Part of this Alpine Way is not recommended for caravans. We stopped quickly at Leatherbarrel Creek Camping and Picnic Area - it was a beautiful spot - but absolutely freezing! The ferns on the ground were frozen solid - but the little creek was still flowing.
