Snow is not the first thing most think of when coming to Australia, however NSW is home to one of the countries only Ski ranges. All just 3 hours’ drive from Sydney, through the months of June, July and early August, you can get yourself some powder to throw yourself down. There are a range of slopes to choose from and lots of resorts that provide all the equipment you need.
Here in the summer months when perhaps the snow is lacking? Well, how about climb a mountain? Get yourself to Thredbo where you can don a chair lift which rise up over 560 vertical meters, towards Mt Kosciuszko summit, once you disembark you can either admire the view and enjoy some lunch at Eagles Nest, Australian highest restaurant or for the most adventurous you can follow the 13k return walking path talking you all the way to the submit.
