That's amazing Paul!!! I had never heard of it snowing anywhere near the coast here.
I found a link that refers to the Coolum snow report:

I do remember some years ago being camped out about an hour WSW of Toowoomba and we had sleet, etc. One local Toowoomba radio station had reports of snow about 30 miles from our location - they had a competition for the first person to bring a cup of genuine snow into the studios. But that's Toowoomba, you sort of expect that kind of cold out that way a little bit more.
