Hello everyone,
I'm Shaun and are new to your forum. I'm seeking some advice on where my girlfriend and I can go this winter to experience some snow. We aren't looking to go skiing or snow boarding. We are just hoping to be able to go for a day walk and enjoy a the snow as neither of us have ever been able to experience it before. I'm hoping people might be able to give advice on what region would be most reliable ( NSW, Vic or Tassie ) and how we can enjoy it without having to pay for ski lifts and being in the way of the skiing community.
We live in Queensland and can drive our own 4wd drive to areas such as Mt Kosciuszko or Mt Buller but I'm worried that these areas would be dominated by skiers and the price of accommodation in the neighbouring towns is out of my price range for any length of time. Would we be better off flying to Tasmania and hiring a camper for a few weeks? If so what areas would be best?
I work a fly in/out roster and can have time off in June, is it likely there would be snow this early or would I be better planning a shorter visit in August?
Thanks in advance!
Shaun
