Despite having relocated in search of warmer weather, we found ourselves bundled up in snow suits hurtling down the snowy slopes of Lake Mountain last Sunday.
Even then, the sun was out & the weather was great! They'd had excellent snow during the week so we were spoilt with good coverage... perfect for 'tobogganing'.
Lake Mountain is about 2 hours East ('ish) of Melbourne & a perfect Sunday morning drive through the Yarra Valley vineyards... reminiscent of Stellenbosch with rolling hills, crystal clear dams, misty valleys & clear blue skies overhead - really beautiful.
As you can imagine, the kids were in their element (although Jack could have done with his morning nap). But so were the other 1000 day trippers, so there was a distinctly manic vibe to the hills with hundreds of kids jostling for prime track space & delighting in smacking into the back of others. It's a wonder no one broke anything, although poor Liam did come home with a bloody nose.
Once the cold had penetrated several layers of socks & Jack had a complete sense of humour failure, we headed back down the mountain in search of warm food and were duly rewarded with a good lunch in Maryville.
Looking forward to the next trip.
