So being as we are edging closer to this fabled trip, I need some advice possibly. So I will have 3 kids with me. The oldest being 7 and the youngest being 18 months. Do I need to be looking at any specific clothing for warmth with them? Also any specific vehicle requirements while in the licola area. I obviously have a 4wd but things like fuel requirements or snow chains? It does get cold up here but the only long pants I own are work pants and a pair of jeans lol.
So looking forward to this. Flights have been booked for the wife to fly down with the kids. Now I just need the time to hurry up and disappear.
Oh YAY yeah can't wait should be good. . Hopefully good bit of snow up the top so warm clothes a must, pants, beanie jacket and gloves. . Work pants will be fine. Will have a roaring fire back at the village so that will be toasty as. . Fuel will be fine just fill up at Heyfield don't even need adative for diesel as not staying up the top Rd is dirt too so no need for chains. . Usually have the option of an afternoon 4WD loop down B1 track & Mt Margaret or head back down to village for arvo relax whatever floats each others boats. .

In regards the Littlens Mat Mate
Don’t bother spending big money on snow gear for this trip. As Rossco kindly mentioned our base camp is below 300mASL and generally quite warm, especially around Sprockstar’s bonfires and cabins have heaters.
Up top at Arbunkle Junction Saturday Fun Day (circa 1,400m ASL) we’re honestly only a few hours outside of vehicles for Littlens fun.
We’ve always survived with our Hillbilly Littlens wearing cheap plastic cover pants, gumboots and gaffa tape joints
Plenty of thick socks, gloves and replacement tracky dacks would suffice IMHO

As mentioned Matty, don’t waste money on snow gear.
Buy gloves though and a hoodie jacket or a beanie is a must.

Throwing snow with kids gets cold with no gloves.

We’ve been known to light a fire up in the snow so warmth shouldn’t be an issue- but I think you’re from QLD so anything less than 27degrees & 90% humidity & you’ll be freakin out haha
Just throw a spare change of clothes in the car for the kids when we go up to the snow, they WILL get wet.
