BTW, what the altitude of McFarlanes Saddle????
Yeah its nice and clean now but I have a change of plans I'll call you tonight. This will be better! I think it's around 1500? Not sure. This photo was at Mt useful today. Hopefully we get a dumping between now and then. This week is meant to be cold and miserable so who knows!Quote:

Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Winnie,
I assume there is no access to river water at McFarlaines Saddle?
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
I'm not actually sure to be honest... I don't think so
Has anybody been able to find the altitude of McFarlanes Saddle? I can't find it anywhere online, the photo of the little bit of snow above is at 1430m
Not looking good for snow up there on the weekend mate. We'll be lucky to see any unless the conditions change. Ohhh well!
Suppose we will just have to get pissed then!
BOM on the radio this morning saying snow down to 500m tonight and tomorrow night possibly Wednesday tooQuote:

You can click on different days to see where the snow will be falling...Hopefully enough will still be around
temps are down all week in Melb, but snow down to 500ft did someone say. that's low
Funny because that hut we visited at the Woods Point trip is covered in snow!!!
So glad I went for a drive yesterday as it was then I realised my car is not up for the trip at all..... George is going to see about a temporary fix for the trip but hard seeing I have a busy week before heading off.
When I got home yesterday there was coolant everywhere... mostly the highway driving it does not like.
See what magic George can come up with to get me along to this trip?
Yeah but those photos you saw were from weeks agoQuote:

Holy shit! Just talking to a customer at work who actually went up to McFarlanes saddle on Sunday and he said there was snow a foot deep!!
Off the map McFarlane saddle is at about 1400 mt and the hut is about 1500 mt but looks rustic to say the least! Attachment 33119Quote:
