Thredbo Remembers - 10 Years

Monday was the 10th anniversary of the tragic slide in Thredbo when 18 died after Carinya and Bimbadeen Lodges collapsed in a landslide.

Following a moving remembrance ceremony at the Thredbo Community Chapel there was a huge flare run down the slopes followed by drinks and sausage sangers outside the Keller while watching a spectacular fireworks display.
