Thredbo Day 1

We've been SO looking forward to this weekend: two nights and three days staying in Thredbo Village with J & J, & A & E to celebrate J & J both celebrating their fortieth birthdays within a few months of each other.

Neither of them have stayed in Thredbo before (apart from the odd short, uncomfortably cold and miserable "pop in" over winters in their youth). Ella and Abi have never visited the Village at all.

We drove up early on Friday and settled into our favourite Snowgoose Apartments and started counting down the hours until "the kids" arrived ('cos some people still have to work don't they?).

In overcast and cool conditions we filled in an hour or so doing the riverside walk along the beautiful Thredbo River.






We love the characteristic landscapes of the mountains: the snow on the main range, the Snow Gums, the massive granite outcrops, endless heath, wombat holes, rushing rivers and lush mosses.

"The kids" arrive around 8.30pm. Abi is excited because she's seen three deer as they entered the Village. We're all set for a fabulous couple of days together in Thredbo!
