Going Green For St Patrick's Day

There's not much to say about the past week except that since the last beautiful, sunny weekend there has been much mist and fog and lots of rain up until this wonderfully clear, sunny weekend - just put on for those Canberrans having a long weekend.

The village is getting more than its annual spruce up, this year being the 50th birthday and all. The Alpine Hotel and Alpine Apartments just to mention two of the many complexes receiving a facelift.

Apart from the regular lift maintenance, I’ve also discovered more new automated snow guns and some new winch points.

Water still flowing in many places - Sponars

The temperature hasn't changed much - just pleasant and still no sign of the flies returning.
