Kosciuzko


So after a short stay in QLD with Dad and Joanne, we headed south. More flying for our overly tired young lad, but he managed vey well. We spent a day catching up with family(pictures to come) then we decided to visit the snowy mountians before Christmas. So we repacked the suitcases, baby gear and jumped in the car for the short trip to Thredbo. It had been a very long time since I'd been and the first for them.
It had just been very cold over the previous few days, so up the top of the range there was quite a bit of snow.


usually loves the baby carrier, but for these shots, I think he was concerned about being so high above the ground. The chair-lift seemed to worry him a little. But he soon warmed to the experince and cracked a smile.

The chair-lift up to the Kosciuzko walking trail.


One of the many creeks flowing down the mountain.


Mr should have brought a thicker jumper!



The path was covered in some parts.


A mountian lake


Mum's turn to lug me up the mountian.


A family snap.


A high altitude nappy change. Lovin' it.


All snug as a bug.



Picnic.


Followed by a little nap.





And here we have a burnt little man after his parents weren't vigilant enough with the sunblock. A reminder to mum and dad that even when it's cold, the sun can still burn. Luckily no permanent damage occured, and he's been checked out by the opthamologist.

Hi Matt,

Looks like you had fun at Christmas so far. I lived in Canberra for all those years but never visited the snowy area during summer. I looks amazing.

Regards Rod
