Hey all, just letting you all know that I'm gonna go for a trip with the family to Mt Useful to play in the snow... anyone welcome, trip should be very easy and accessable for even 2wd's... Leaving Morwell (Horizon servo) at 9:30 sharp... will head to Seaton, up McEvoys Trk and into the snow.. trip back will be via Binns rd and thru Walhalla...

No probs mate... I want to get the kids up to the snow at least once this season... we went up to Jeeralang Junction last year and had a play - but that was only 2 inches deep... I want the little tackers to play in some deeper stuff....

its gonna happen soon... cant have 4 or more of us from the area and not do a run together... LOL

We'll have to see what we can arrange. I'll catch up with you through the week when you are at work hopefully your not to far away from the counter.

Hmmm, I oo had a late invite for a snow trip today. My friend rang last night, bout the same time you posted Gippsurfer. I had to decline (hate that!) Work this morning till 2 stopped it. Will have to try again in a couple of weeks. There's snow fun to be had.

Well..

As planned, we (my family and a couple of mates) left Morwell at 9:30 and headed towards Seaton and up McEvoys track to Mt Useful... as was the case a few weeks ago, the track is in excellent condition and would see most family 2wds being able to "almost" get to the snow... Finally got to the top (1434m) at 11am.

All the kids got their gear on and had a ball in 12 to 18 inches of relatively fresh snow. Snowman was made, snowballs were thrown and a good time had by all..

The kids had had enough so we packed em all back in the cars and headed back down the mountain... Took the Binns rd turnoff and headed over to Walhalla rd and stopped in at the Wally Pub for a counter attack.. Great Parma and everyone else reckoned the meals were tops... Great pub, great food, great place - No wonder I get up there as often as i can...

Anyway, ive uploaded some pics of the day.. See you guys all out there soon hopefully.
