    Haven't driven in snow before and the last snow trip looked like great fun. So picturesque.

    Yeah Cheers Daz. If not probably the best option is to plan for July - August and monitor the snow then just go for it when there had been a good amount. Unfortunately a couple of sunny days then it's gone. Makes it hard for planning but can't really guarantee snow will be round.

    Matlock areas probably best unless anyone else can think of some good areas. Might have a bit more of a think & look at sum maps. . . Nissheads place maybe. . .

    We really need to suss out getting to Skene, there has to be a way for non club members to get a permit? Even if we have to pay a few bob. 10 car limit would be fine, we would just have to set a limit on the number of cars allowed on the trip

    Yeah was thinking about further that way, would love to check out Moscow villa hut too. It's a bit further to get to but I'm up for it. Is there much driving up high there? Mt Skeen & Arbuckle are around 1500m, mt matlock around 1300 just put of interest. . . Might have to check some maps. . .

    Moscow villa is at 1090m so I reck n will be too low. We came through last year and there was heaps of snow at 1200m around Mt Skene but when we continued to the east and met the guys at 1500m to the east there was none. Need to stay around woods point I reckon.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Was thinking might be a bit low, just want sure if there's much driving higher up. Coberas - Tinaringi is pretty high but its a fair mission, not sure about seasonal closures or that familiar with the area, best for another trip i think.

    It's funny how the snow can be hard to predict. Looks like its Woods Point or Arbuckle. Mt Skeen would still be good if possible. . .

    The only reason I mentioned it, was cos it snowed when we were there 12 months ago... Maybe the horrible white stuff follows me ? It also snowed when we did Mt Margaret TK and it was 22c in Licola. And Moscow Villa is massive !!
