Nice lagoon green S4 at the front!! ;O)
The Overingtons stop on the way up the mountain for a picture session, and we're the subject!!
Thanks for the snap Dave.
On the way to Dinner Plain it starts snowing!
Jaime's never seen snow before and is very excited (right)
Further up the road it starts to get slushy...
Len gets stuck and has to put the space saver on with the chain.
We wait for the plough, and head up without chains (Mt Hotham)
We catch up to Len, who is now removing the chain and admiring that sexy space saver!!
Bruce and Janne removing their chains...
Len with his fluffy shark!!
Len'll be cuddling sharky tonight to
keep warm!!!
Chains off we head for
Dinner Plain... Len leaves the space-saver on for the short trip to
Dinner Plain.
Sharks all parked for the night in the driveway of the chalet.
Words of wisdom from
El Capitain... I think *not* ;O)
Jaime Doug and Jaime
...and the snow is falling.
Icicles outside the bedroom window
Hey! that ice wasn't there when we left them yesterday!! a chilly night for our babies... but Len poked his into a garage (left of shot)
Inspect the night's freeze while I test the rear de-icer...
Checking the temp of the header tank...
0.4 degrees... now that's cold!
More hullabaloo...

Bruce's patented hatch support tool
Now Bruce assures me that the car covers he's organising will be designed with the same meticulous eye for detail and manufactured to the same stringent guidelines ;O)
8 shark photo shoot outside the Dinner Plain hotel, where we had pre dinner drinks the night before (it was a lot colder last night!!)
There's snow in Dinner Plain!!!
...and here's the proof
A brief stop in Omeo to return
the chains.
Now on to Bairnsdale... This was a great drive with excellent winding roads and river scenery.
An Optimax stop in Bairnsdale...
then off to Lakes entrance for lunch.
Theresa and Jaime
After lunch in Lakes Entrance, Jaime and Jaime say goodbye and head for Sale... on the way back to Melbourne.
