Every year we get a really cold belt that stops use in our tracks , this is a bit out there . Then you get used to it so snuggle up & enjoy :-* :cheers:

Hope they find that guy up around Tomahawk Hut but it doesn't sound good.
Not happy with the cold here in Mansfield at the moment, the beer taps have frozen on the bar in the shed and I can't pour beer >:(
At least it should knock a few mice down though.
Anyone coming up Mansfield way for the long weekend?

Define Bad >:D.
Wet season is not too bad. You have rain inthe afternoon to cool things down. Now the build up is adifferent matter. If you don't mind been wet 24 hours aday and changing your clothes every time you go to do something because of the sweat it's not so bad. It's not called the crazy season for nothing. :o
-
The cold snap is supposed to hit us on the weekend with temps dropping both overnight and during the day. Monday is supposed to be the worst with advise for campers to take really warm clothes.

Well I did have a drive up into the snow. I have been up on the search for the missing deer hunter at tomahawk hut near Mt Striling. The picture is Mount No3 Hut yesterday morning.
On the way home there was snow down to the Mt Buller gate and also on the black spur.
Hard work walking in the snow and scrub but we were working with some great people which made it better.

Police say it is unlikely missing Barwon Prison boss David Prideaux will be found alive and they will scale back the search for him.

Pretty Sad, a mate of mine has been up there all week helping with the searching. Very tuff for all involved.
