I am trying to find a post with a caravan at Oberon in it with snow on the awning.

I have searched the forum (including Search) but can't locate it, can the original poster or someone help please.

(I have gone fossicking for gems there around 1965 and it was freezing then but not snowing).

Thanks

Vic

Vic, you may have to take a trip over in the winter, that way you can have pics of your own rig snowed in.LOL

JC

Thanks JC, that's all I need!   SWMBO wants to see snow, so I can show her the picture of Oberon instead (or wait for snow to fall on Bluff Knoll in WA Stirling Ranges).    Last of the big spenders here.   

A new member was asking on here where he and his family could go for snow with his RV, hope he read the post too.

Is there anyone at all that can point me to the right section or post to find it please (the Oberon post picture that is).

Thanks Vic

Howdy Vic,

Here's a few pics that might be some help;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Hey Vic, may be us, on our way down to the annual Australian Caravan Club muster at Mallacoota, 2012, we woke up in Oberon one morning to the happy sounds of frollicking kids and looked out and all was covered in white, the lady manager came over and called out that we might like to roll our awning up before it caves in, the pics show the scene, (I hope)

A first for us, we had seen snow before on mountain tops, but being Queenslanders this was the one and only time we had actually experienced it as it happened, a most enjoyable morning.

Thanks Bevan, yes that was the one and also thinks for the extra shots, SWMBO will be pleased.  I am glad your awning didn't collapse with all that snow on it.   It must have been a great experience.  

The coldest spot we have ever been at was Glen Innes, everything covered in ice but no snow.  Pipes in the showers were frozen solid and a tea towel we left outside would have snapped if we had tried to bend it.  As fast as I could get the ice off the windscreen of the car it froze over again.   Still no snow though.

Thanks also KJ for your shots, where abouts were they taken?  That campervan/bus was really snowed in too.  Which one was yours the caravan or the campervan/bus?

Looks like I won't be seeing Yeoeleven (John) here in down town Townsville for a while now KJ.

(sorry KJ I borrowed that pic for this post)

Vic,  Those shots I posted were from a search on the net, don't know their location,

Following are a few shots I took on our trip around the block, We  were camping ( freezing ) in Tenterfield near Glen Innes at the time..........

Thanks KJ,

SWMB told me the morning temp was MINUS 7 when we spent an overnight at Glenn Innes. 

We were at a caravan park that was also a working cattle station, the caravan park was dotted with granite boulders and had it's own little church in the grounds, I think the owners were Salvo members.

Check this one out.  We had Christmas Day at Jindabyne/Thredbo in the Snowys back in 2006.  Not our standard Christmas Day. My first white Christmas. (And now I am walking around in my first northern winter in t-shirts, shorts and thongs.

I haven't been to Jenolan Caves in a long time Bevan, was nice from what I can recall.

You look as snug as bugs in a rug DM's, maybe I will get to have a snow experience one day.

It snowed in the blue mountains at one time and someone got a cardboard box and filled it with snow and brought it down to Regents Park to show us what snow looked like, LOL, about the closest I have ever got to it.

They get a bit on Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges in WA some winters but most of it is up on the top so a long trek up to see it.

Thanks Vic for your help. I am the one who posted the request about taking family to stay in snow.
