This week its come on hard , so I did a little run up to Mt Margret near
Buxton Victoria (thurs) today to
check it out. Its only an hour from melbournes eastern suburbs and there isn't as much as you get near
Matlock but theres plenty to play in and it should stay till saturday but I'd get in early if going.
Its only about 8 - 10 inches but it was enough that you were driving on fresh snow and its a great place to take kids for a snow fight.
Theres a lot of tree wreckage though , this area was burnt out on black saturday so they come down easily.
My brother did this run sunday so I was surprized to be almost blocked by trees some of which must have come down in last 24 hrs.
Indeed at one point the sky clouded over and it began to snow and wind came up just as I came across a fallen tree, the little aldi electric chainsaw I was carrying saved the day though despite being used to clear bigger fish on the way up.
It would have been easy to have another come down behind me , which wouldn't have been good as I was travelling alone.
Forrest is looking a bit wrecked now but lots of local snow
