    This looked like fun but the wife went nah...damn voice of reason. Had a good snow fight at Poleblu for half an hour then set the AC for 28c on way down mountain, mild on the action but great on the scenery..

      I was away that weekend which sucked. I want to get up there if we get some more decent falls. The Mrs has never seen snow so I want to get up there with her and the boys.

        Nice photos. Damn I wish I made it up that snowy weekend. Been wanting to see the tops in the snow for years but the snow always fell on a Tuesday or Wednesday while I'm at work.

            Lenny I think you need to update your profile picture as it shows a 90s and you seem to have acquired a nice 120s , maybe that last picture at 1100m would be a good one

                Russ,

                Not sure, as its not mine. I think I've seen him with it since 86. They certainly last. They are also pretty quick to put up.

                I slept in the back of the Prado.

                  Newy's pretty good eh, you can go surfing and have a snowfight all in one day! Good idea rags on the profile pic it is about time I changed it. I do battle with pc on that one this week. My son is pretty crook with a cold today and im wondering if that snowfight was a good idea..

                    Of course it was a good idea Lenny, when is a snow fight ever a bad idea?

                      Hey, we also have white stuff on the ground. It's called Cable Beach sand and it's down to 33 - 35 degrees.

                        Agreed - They bring a smile to everyone's faces!

                        I moved to the UK from Africa when I was 20 and had never seen snow. I broke my leg the first day of snowfall so the nurses filled two bins with snow and brought it into the Ward and we had an indoor snow fight. Nursing Sister wasn't too pleased. Kids were over the moon!

                          True true...fun for 20 minutes haha! Great story r4ndll, the warm way to have a snow fight! Roll on winter, good waves and Barrington runs. I have a youtube link to our snowfight here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByBziXt3-Ss ..theres some old mud recovery footage in Uffington State Forest of my 90s also on my channel, another Maxtrax recovery, great things! Also have a mate that has a farm on the lower Watagan fence line so we been having lotsa fun there, got me 120s stuck there a month ago, driving in bogholes where the big GQ's have been..bad idea.

                          And also and update on my 120s suspension, the Amada - Airbagman man conversion is good, its proven itself on and offroad for maybe 4 months now. Very nice on road actually. My other mate has a new dual cab landcruiser with Amadas also and he's in the mines so we'll see how he goes.

                          Another shot from our snow run, note my little booster lights on my front bar, no good for roo spotting I know but a great addition for general driving.
