Girraween Snow
Posted: Thu 03 Sep, 2015 3:51 pm
I thought I'd share a few images from my trips through winter.
I spent two weekends chasing snow at Girraween and further south when the antarctic super-low's were coming through. You may have seen some of these in this months comp. It was a pretty exciting couple of weeks.
The first weekend I camped on Mt Norman hoping to give myself the best shot of seeing snow. Got a little bit falling and settling on the ground in the early morning (before light). I haven't seen any other photos of snow on this side of the border from this weekend. I did see a lot more over the next couple of days in NSW near Ben Lomond and Mt Mackenzie near Tenterfield.

The next weekend was when the big one hit Stanthorpe and surrounds. Unfortunately I couldn't get there for the peak of it, but after I bailed on work as soon as I could I got there late afternoon. In time to see quite a bit still on the ground.

Would have loved to have seen the Pyramids with snow like they had in the morning. This was the best I got. Looking across the fields near the road. You can see what the coverage was like from the lay of the grass.

Along the Mt Castle track:
The best view I could muster at sunset after running out along the track trying to get to a view point.
