Hi all
My family and I are heading down to Albury Wodonga in August (10th - 12th) for the
Border Stargaze star party, and we're hoping to do some sight-seeing around the place either before and/or after the star party.
In particular we want to visit the snow, as the kids have never been and it's been almost 20 years since I've been to the snow!
So a couple of questions to the skiing types, in particular people from around that area..
1. What's the closest snowfields from the star party location (Great Aussie Resort at Albury)?
2. How far away is it?
3. What's the best way to get there? Organised bus trip or self-drive?
4. Should I look for accommodation closer to the snow fields, or should I extend my accommodation at the Great Aussie Resort?
5. What costs are involved? How much is hire for appropriate winter wear? We have none of the gear that's required (gloves, goggles, suits, etc).
We'd probably just go for a day or two taboganing.
What other touristy type things are there to do around Albury Wodonga in the middle of Winter?
Thanks for your help.
