Only in OZ: A Winter White Out
Want to cool off this summer? Head to OZ, my friends! Blizzard-like conditions in the mountains of Victoria and New South Wales have dumped size-able accumulations of snow over the south-eastern Australian region. Reports are predicting that this year will be one of the best ski seasons in OZ since 2000.The total snow depth at places like Falls Creek resort in Victoria is up to 22 inches. At Thredbo in NSW, the resort will be celebrating more than it's 50th anniversary if the snow keeps falling like this. Mt. Buller is another cool spot to check out if you'll be downunder between now and October, when the warm weather returns. But for now, southern hemisphere sports enthusiasts can enjoy their winter wonderland.

There is nothing like Australia in winters! I was in Oz about 5 months back I had a great time camping, skiing, fishing and boating ...an unforgettable trip.
As it usually happens to travelaholics like us, I found it difficult to stay within my budget. That is when I stumbled upon this great Australian site - My Hire Site (http://www.myhiresite.com.au) . Its like ebay except that you can hire stuff instead of purchasing it. I had to buy about $350 worth of camping gear which I was able to rent here for only $30 a week! I then used this service extensively throughout my trip for fishing gear, party wear, etc. Thought I should refer this to you...maybe of help...
