Where can I find out more information about hiking in the snow/mountaineering? It's something I would like to get in to.

Thanks mate, sadly there is not much of a community in Australia as we have very little snow and even less challenging terrain. I have since heard that most Australian's interested/dedicated to it go to NZ and then up to the Northern Hemisphere and repeat.

But thanks for the recommendation for the book and websites, I'll look in to it a bit more.

this was from 2001 I think, though it may have been 2003 when 300 homes were destroyed in my city.

A fellow Canberra goon!

Went for an overnight stroll to the Cascade Hut, about 10km along the Cascade Trail in Kosciusko National Park (very near to Australia's tallest mountain!). Quite an easy walk. Winter is beginning to close in and there was about 8cm of snow on the ground at the highest point. We're hoping to do it again in winter with snowshoes. Wasn't that cold, got down to about -2c.

Spot a Canadian guy by any chance?
