July 14 Snowshoe Blog Brandy Creek Mine

With 34 cm of fresh and Hotham Central blanketed in cloud and buffeted by winds, we decided to head to the shelter of Brandy Creek Mine. Our meeting place does seem to be one of the coldest spots at Hotham!

Today we welcomed four lovely ladies for their first snowshoe tour with us: Alison & Carol and Lyn and Marina.

Though it was blowing a gale at Hotham, the track down to the mine site was lovely and sheltered. Lots of fresh animal tracks and the snowgums looked beautiful today wearing their fresh mantles of snow.

The dam looked a treat, partly iced over and layered in snow. Enjoy the pics!

Hotham is so good for variety; it's amazing how within such a short distance from Hotham, conditions can change so much.

Once the snow sets in, it's rare we
can't find somewhere suitable to go 'shoein.
