Hey,
Well I just got back from a 5.5k trip to
Broome today and unfortunately have to flight out to
Canberra and
Sydney for work on Sunday.
I have been over to the east coast quite a few time but because it is always for work , I have never had time to really look around.
This time however, I will be in
Canberra over the weekend and would like to know where I can go an see some snow.
Being that I'm from WA this would be a new thing for me to do so if anyone has some simple
places to get to (in a hire car, not
mine) it would be appreciated.
I only have Saturday to have a look around so it will need to be fairly limited on the k's to get there.
Simon

Hi mate,
Head down to
Cooma, then on to
Jindabyne.
From there it is a short run up to Thredbo.
Cheers,

Corin
Forrest may have some snow, and it's closer.
Go south down the Tuggeranong Parkway and follow the signs (turn right).

2 hours to
Jindabyne via
cooma.
45 minutes to perisher or thredbo. Take your pick. Personally I would take perisher over thredbo for sightseeing.
You must get chains and Pay for National
park entry fee also, quite expensive these days too.

If you have a day to spare, forget the car and take a bus down to the snow. You can get to the top via the Ski Tube.

There are day bus trips from
Canberra up to the snowies.
Near
Canberra there is probably snow in the gullies and on the side of the road in the Brindabellas along Mt
Franklin road from Picadilly Circus.
