Sounds like a lovely, enjoyable trip SC. Based on what I see on Google maps it looks like a lovely place to visit and I wouldn't mind visiting one day.

Will you do a bit of skiing or wakeboarding?

My Australia Day will look something like this:

Doing this trip with quite a few people which includes breakfast and lunch stops along the way.

Yep, it's a nice spot. The lake is really nice to swim in, too.

There won't be any skiing/wakeboarding happening unfortunately. Hopefully one day though!

Apparently our friend's "neighbour" owns a catamaran and may be firing it up over the weekend. With any luck we'll get to go in it.

Your drive looks awesome. I went skiing at Lake Mountain in about '97 I think. What a glorious drive it was getting there. Drive safely!
 
TurtleMaster , what do Kinglake and Marysville look like now ? Have the trees etc grown back a bit? And houses gone up ? For after you have been there and come back, of course And Teriyakicat , I deleted my last post because I have almost decided to just be sensible and wise on here now

That's a bit harsh, dude! He's not a bad player and it was hardly his fault that he came out in the last couple of overs! He had zero time to work himself into the match. I'd hate to see how scathing your (and probably other's) criticism of him would have been, had we not been able to wrap up the match due to Henriques' inability to get into his rhythm quickly enough.

Not at all. He shouldn't be anywhere near an Australian side. He only gets in because he's a selectors love child and is from NSW.

Black mark on his name hopefully. Useless.

I haven't been to Kinglake before but I've been to Marysville a couple of times and it is quite bare. I did post some photos of my previous trip to Lake Mountain resort in this thread which I will find for you.

Well hopefully "my boy", the South Aussie prodigy, young Travis Head gets a crack at some point. That boy is going to be a star! Watch him smash the 6ers tonight!

They were both burnt out a few years ago, and know that they are really encouraging tourists now to go and bring the dollars in . Thanks Will look at the other one :)

I remember that drive to Lake Mountain. Really nice. I did it on a high school trip. I think that was the last time I went skiing. Pretty bad considering where I live.

Indeed! You have Whistler on your doorstep! What are you doing, man?

Lol- that's going to be pretty tough on you, CatMarie! Are you SURE?? :D

And here I am, trying to resist being a smartarse and telling you that the houses had "gone up" years ago...

I thought *I* was the mature one ;)

Haha, I love Whistler. Just haven't been skiing there. I booked a chalet there over Easter long weekend. No snow at that time but I can't wait!

The road up to Lake Mountain is a 100km/h twisty road which means doing mad skids in my pants :p

In case you were interested, my wife drove through the recently affected areas of the Sampson Flat bushfire earlier in the week. Here are some of the photos which she took.

The quality of the images had to be significantly reduced in order to upload them to BF, CatMarie. I don't think my wife would appreciate her photos being posted up as a display of her work in anything more public than this thread. When you consider that the original raw files were 16+ mb each, you could appreciate how much nicer the originals looked. There's plenty more, too. I just posted up my favourites.

Yes you are right. I wasn't thinking of the public stuff Sorry . It was more a matter of " gee, they look great " Edited to say, and I just told Teriyakicat I was going to be more mature :(

Bloody tragic loss of forest there, SC :( Hopefully many of the affected trees will recover - the undergrowth will grow really fast. Thanks for posting those pics.

It's all good CatMarie. No need to apologise. :)
