Three hours drive north east from Melbourne in winter and you arrive on the snowy landscape of Mt Stirling. Through the cloud you can hear the clank of the ski tows just over the valley on the Alpine ski resort of Mt Buller. On Stirling, however, the Red Robins dart on the lower snow free slopes and the Antechinus retreat to the burrows under the snow covered grass clumps. On a spring day in September the distant views are revealed.
These pictures were taken in late August, 2000 with an Olympus digital camera.
