Busy Weekend!
Ed and I began our fun packed weekend with a trip into the city for the opening of the Melbourne Art's Festival. A packed laneway for local movers and shakers...free entry...free drinks...freezing cold and just an example of the randomn events happening here!
The highlight had to be a visit from Melbourne's Mayor. We only managed to picture the back of his head though!
Saturday morning brought with it an early, early start with a long drive to the mountains. We stopped half way to check out the work of a local artist that we'd heard good things about. Weird! Certainly would not have liked to have been in his garden after dark. Hiding in every nook and cranny were examples of his work. Some thought provoking and other just down right strange! Here are just a couple of examples...
Check out this dude's tap!
A favourite...
This one too.
Couldn't resist a quick canoodle with this chappy!
After a couple of hours of driving we thought the snow we'd heard about on the news was all hype...
The long and winding road...
We were soon proved wrong and arrived in the winter wonderland of Mount Buller, Victoria's ski resort. Struggling to climb the hill with its six passengers the Bongo finally made it and gave us a quick hour of fun in the snow before dark.
Ed...very excited!
Paul
Simon
Routine snow ball fight
The obligatory snowman...
and of course, angel.
We made it back to our cabin just after an incredible sunset, where we settled in to port, stew and many pots of beer.
What a great weekend! Can't believe that in the last few months we have manged to sun bathe on a beach and also play in the snow!!!

Keep up the partying/touring/exploring and of course blogging so we can all get a regular fix of jealously!
