After 3 ski seasons in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains was off on another trip around Australia in my trusty Hyundai Excel Select with a couple of friends I meet made while working at the Ski Resort.

The weather was still pretty cold even after the winter ski season had ended but at least it meant we almost had all the camping places to our selves.

I grew up in Melbourne and it is always great to visit and see all the changes. There is so much to do and explore but this trip we were just passing through with a short stop over.

From Victoria we were heading to South Australia and some better weather.
