Yesterday we went to Snowy Mountain. We rented a car. It took us about three-hour drive with the speed of 100 km/hour. It was far. Snowy Mountain is located in New South Wales (NSW). We have waited for the adventure for a long time!
We passed many farms, barns and pastures. We saw many beef and dairy cattle, such as black, brown and spotted cows. We also saw sheep and emu. Some of the cows were covered with "warm shirts" to prevent them from freezing in the winter. Look at the bright red "shirt" for the cow. Thank you, farmers.
This was the road close to Snowy Mountain. Isn't it beautiful?
We stopped at Cooma. We had to rent snowsuits, snow boots, gloves and toboggan. Toboggan is a simple sled, first used by native people (Indian) in Canada.
We also rented snow chains or tire chains, chains that had to be attached to the tires to prevent sliding in the snowy road. However, we were lucky, because the road was clean. There were winter service vehicles, such as truck plows and heavy front-end loaders that removed the snow from the road.
Finally, we were at the Perisher, Snowy Mountain. There were so many people enjoyed the snow. Their snowsuits were very colorful. They were ready to slide down using toboggan. We can use one toboggan alone or together with friend or family. We can sit, lie down or lie back, whatever it is comfortable for us. We use our feet to reduce the speed and hold the rope that is tied on the toboggan with our hands to steer.
This is me! I was ready to slide down. Wheeeeeeee! It was really fun! However, it was really hard to get back up there! Hah, hah, hah. I lost my breath!
You can see there were many activities in the Snowy Mountain. Some people rode cable cars that were hanging in the cable and some were skiing or snowshoeing.
Some people were snow tubing. They rode on a tube that was pulled up by an electric cable, then they were sliding down.
Some people were snowmobiling. I wanted to try!
This is our snowman! Hey! That's my beanie (snow hat)! Isn't he cool?
These are two snow makers. They used the machines to make artificial snow, when the snow has not thick yet (in July), so people could play in the snow.
These are beautiful trees. They have very beautiful trunk! The trunks were twisted on the stone and they had beautiful color! They are always there to greet the visitors and they are always there to let us admired their beauty. They are so amazing!
On the way to Snowy Mountain and on the way home, we saw a very beautiful rainbow! The multicolored arc was curved over the pasture in Jindabyne. It was formed when the sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the earth's atmosphere. What a wonderful phenomenon!
We really had a good time at the Snowy Mountain! When will I see you again? Despedida! Hasta la vista, Snowy Mountain!
