Mount Baw Baw

Mount Baw Baw is one of those mountains in Australia that snows during the Winter. You can check out about Mount Baw Baw HERE. It was organised by CLIC Church, around 20 members consisting of families and some students of Monash Berwick. We gathered at church about 7am, and after a short briefing and prayer by pastor,..... Mount Baw Baw here we come!

Ian, our driver drove me, Steph and Danny up. You know, people here drive very very fast. I can't believe we were actually speeding on the way up those winding roads. Those roads are like going up the Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands. Had a really had headache and feel like puking. Zzzz....


At the foothill, there is a ticket booth that we have to pay the entrance fee to go up the mountain. It's 'JAM'!!! Payment is by per car, not per person. So after paying, on the way up....

We started to go back down about 4pm before it gets really dark. Quite scary driving down, like in Cameron Highland road, and with no street lights. EEEEeeeeeeee..... We have dinner at Sofia's.
