We went for a drive up into the Brindabella Mountains in Canberra and found loads of people up there playing in the SNOW !!!! Made me feel as if I was back in Scotland.

The photos are fab. My daughter can't wait to go to the snow in Canberra on her school camp in July.

Brindabellas at this time of year get a dusting of snow. Canberra may get a touch as well, but it doesnt settle. There used to be an man-made snow ski field at Mt Corin.

Smiggins or Thredbo is a day trip if you want to play in deeper snow. You will need tyrechains to enter the national park.

It did a wee bit but there are so many things I love about living here that the homesickness doesn't last for too long. After living here I don't think I could go back to living in Glasgow now.
