Almost Heaven

This Harp is on a park Just on the outskirts of Jindabyne, it is a tribute to the Irish workers that helped build the Snowy Scheme.






















My great camp spot on Lake Jindabyne at a recomended Caravan park called Jindabyne Holiday park, what a beautiful spot they only charge $22.00 per night and there is a nice camp kitchen and tv room and the facilities are very well looked after, the staff are friendly and helpful.

I was planing on staying at the YHA in Thredbo however when I got there I discovered that I couldn't park near the hostel and I was short of breath climbing down the three flights of stairs to get to the hostel, I thought it might be the high altitude as I haven't been that out of breath before, or maybe I am not that fit, that to is a posability. So I decide to head back down the mountains and found this lovely spot.

The locals told me that it was -3 degrees last night at thredbo and it is expected to snow in the next few days, so I am glad that I didn't stay there, although apparently it was ony 2 degrees here in Jindabyne so I hope my long johns work.......

The roads from to Cooma to Thredbo are very good motorbike roads very good quality surface and some great bends to test your skills on, however I did notice a number of dead animals in fact I came across 4 or 5 of them between Jindabyne and thredbo, so if you are riding do take care. They charge you $6.00 per day to use the National park road and give you a sticker to place on your screen, I don't know what they might do if you didn't have a screen. Tomorrow due to the posability of even colder weather I will head down the NSW south coast to Victoria and will probably stay at Philip Island YHA.

UNTIL THEN BYE ALL STAY SAFE
