Alpiney
I wouldn’t have believed it, if I hadn’t seen it in NSW over Christmas, but possible snow in Victoria – in summer still seems extreme.
As for the Americans missing on Kosciuszko, well, I suppose they must have taken a more adventurous pathway than the steel track we followed two weeks ago, but I won’t be surprised, after the various groups and individuals we saw departing the track for one reason or another (including contributing to the giardia problem, to discover that the well-trodden paths around there were abandoned for overconfident trekking. Luckily, there are no bears (but, sadly, no tigers, either).

Didn't realize Australia had such rugged mountains. Lots and lots of empty land to get lost in but mountains??? And I bet no snow anywhere even in the Snowy Mountains at this time of year.

Check the pictures from my trip. There was leftover snow all over the place.

Plus: Summer snow!
