We all hired skis (Dale had a go at snowboarding) and made fools
of ourselves early on, but when things started to come together we
became a little more adventurous and tried moving further up the
hills. Matthew cheated (he'd skied before), Natalie took 45 minutes
to come down one hill (she bought a half day lift ticket) and the
intrepid leader won the award for chickening out the most number of
times. It didn't matter though because it was fun, fun, fun both day
and night and no-one got hurt.
Breakfast time.

Baw Baw Ski Hire.

Matthew and Daniel wait in line for their skis while Dale
contemplates his decision to try a snowboard.
|
By the end of the weekend this flag pole was sitting high
and dry in the middle of the road as the snow had receded so
much.

The ski tow on Tank Hill (beginners) run.

You just never know who you'll find. The gentleman (?) in
the white top on the left is Mick Fraser, the DVSL from
Werribee. Is there nothing this man can't do?

Tim and Matthew on their roster stoking the
fire.

Dale, Tim, Ambre and Daniel at tea.
|
The first time I say 'no uniform', what does everyone
else wear for tea on the Saturday night?
|
Just in case you were wondering, the Investiture was held
on the Roadrun, at night, in the dark and the freezing cold.
The only warm one was Bouf who wore his own fur
coat.
|
Next day we were up bright and early all bushy tailed -
NOT! Ambre and Dale had to show Tim how to put his shoes
on!!
|
Bouf loved the snow getting into the spirit in a snow
ball fight.

The mighty Venturer Mobile made it there and back even
towing a trailer.
