When there is no Snow,
they will make snow artificially
Coming to see the snow for the first time
Hello Everyone !
You may be wondering
why am I dressed like this !
There are some mountains in Australia
where there is snow during the Winter Season
Mount Buller which is around 250 km or
around 2 to 3 hours from Melbourne is
popular for snow in the Winter
I have never been there in the past
18 years of my life here in Australia.
I have been pushing it for many reasons
But we are going there today, to see
the beautiful snow views of Mount Buller.
Let us go together
Welcome to Jyju's Home Videos !
Today, we are going to drive from
Melbourne to the town which is a small town
in the foothills of the Mountain region.
We have decided to travel from Mansfield
on a bus to Mount Buller
We can drive there but
there are some restrictions
As per the Weather forecast for today,
there will be snow falls and Rain
So, we are not taking the risk of driving
If we want to drive on the snow,
we have to attach a snow chain
which can be hired or bought, to our tyres.
Since I haven't done that before,
I am not going to do that today.
We are going to drive to Mansfield and
catching a bus from there to Mt Buller.
It is out first trip to the snow region and
our plan is to just go there, see everything
for a couple of hours and come back
That is our plan
Let us go !
We arrived Mansfield, booked our bus tickets,
had our lunch and now ready to go.
Our bus is here now
Let us get in and start our trip
We arrived Mansfield, parked our car,
caught our bus and now started our trip
to Mount Buller.
It is a V-Line bus (Victoria Line)
which is a Public Transport Bus.
Our Bus left Mansfield to Mount Buller
Our bus is now going to Mount Buller
Our driver said it may take around an hour
But it depends on the traffic conditions
like other vehicles, snow etc.
If it is really bad, it may take over an hour
These green hill tops, grass lands,
sheep, cattle, and everything we see
on our way is so mind blowing
If we are driving to Mount Buller,
we have to buy a Pass from this gate,
before we enter
I think it is around $60 for a vehicle
Since we are going by bus, our bus ticket
is including the pass to the Mountains
We couldn't see much as we expected
on our way since it started to rain,
when we were halfway.
We are going past a beautiful waterfalls
and this welcome board, here.
Our trip through the winding roads
was really beautiful
When we reached the top of the hill, we could
see the hills around us were covered with snow.
What we see across the road here
are the chair lifts to take people who are
playing and skiing,
up and down the mountains
We can see there are people queuing up
for the buses
These buses are moving people
from one point to other
Those who have the bus tickets
can use these shuttle buses
When we went further up,
what we saw was really amazing
On the sides of the road, we could see
the white snow
This is a first time sight in my life
Travelling through a road covered in snow
Those who visited UK or Canada,
this is a normal view
but for me, this is totally a new sight.
Finally we reached the centre
of the Mount Buller resort
This place is called the resort centre.
There are restaurants, cafes,
Ticketing offices, toilets etc.
in this location
Bus station is here
and from here the buses depart
We can see the snow everywhere
We are entering the bus station now
and going to park here.
We have completed our bus trip very nicely
We started sight seeing
What we see now is the view from
a balcony of a building here
It is really great
It is dark here after the rain
There is ice on top the buildings
Don't say you didn't see the snow
There is no snow on that mountains
When we looked around from here,
we can see the mountains in front of us
are covered with snow.
It happens here only during the winter.
There is no snow here in other seasons
These are machines which make artificial
snow when there is no natural snow here.
It take water from the pipe and make snow.
Some of my friends saw it last time
This is an activity for most kids and adults
who visit here at Mount Buller,
for the first time.
These trays made of Plastic material
is called Toboggans
We can hire these Toboggans
and slide down the hill
We didn't do any of those,
because we didn't have enough time
We are here today, just for a sight seeing
and snow expedition for the first time
Did you like the snow ?
Don't tell now we didn't see the snow
in the past 17 years
This is a view from a balcony of another
building here, and it is really great.
From here, we can see
the Mount Buller Resort in full
There are thousands of people from around
the globe, come here, stay here and
participate in these activities, every year.
The snow here is really white in colour, right ?
This view to the mountains covered
in snow is amazing !
Among those mountains,
we can see plenty of those chair lifts,
which I mentioned earlier.
People are travelling up and down on them
We can see snow everywhere
Mount Buller is really beautiful
when covered in snow
These beautiful birds are called
Crimson rosellas
We could see a lot of these birds
on the trees here
See the ice on the roadside
Let us kick it down
Like this !
See this woman who came to see the snow,
is sitting here with an umbrella and
a Bunnings bag
You need special shoes to walk on the snow
But we are wearing runners today
If walk carelessly,
we will fall on our back or on our face !
I am trying to walk on the snow,
very carefully
See these kids and adults
here are skiing !
How easily they are doing this !
I feel a bit ashamed on myself
for not trying this in my life.
There is no ice back home
and where do we learn this ?
We can just watch and enjoy these views !
Can we learn this now at this age ?
May be it is possible !
I may try it next time
See those small kids !
See those kids skiing !
What useless are us ?!
We are 45 - 50 years old
Don't say again that you didn't see snow
after coming to Mount Buller !
How is it ?
We stood there enjoying these views
We only had a couple of hours
After some time, fog covered the area
and then it started to rain
We had an umbrella and we were fine
Visibility also reduced due to the fog
Are you happy to see the snow now ?
Since the weather is getting bad,
we started to walk back to the bus station
We are trying to go bit earlier,
to get our front seat !
Enough !
See, how busy is the skiing park !
It is a flood of chair lifts and people !
People are going up and down !
What a beautiful view !
This is view, we should see at least once
in our life and I liked it
We are walking back to our bus stop
It is really busy here.
People are queuing to get the shuttle buses
We are going on the Public Transport Bus,
Back to Mansfield
Our bus back here
Driver is checking the passengers list
I think he will open the door in 5 minutes or so
After roaming for around 2 hours in
Mount Buller, we are waiting to get in our bus
back to Mansfield, then pick our car
and drive back home.
The driver is loading the bags and skiing
equipment of passengers who are going back,
in the luggage compartment under the bus.
Our return trip from the Mount Buller
was really beautiful
Since it didn't rain while we were there,
we did not get wet.
But when are returning, it started to rain
and snow started to fall
Hope you all liked the views and news
from Mount Buller !
We will meet again next week
with another video like this one
Until then, Bye Bye Everyone !
