When we arrived the Snowy Mountains with the bus we were already fascinated. Wonderful landscape! Beautiful mountains! And - also very important - our backpacker is great, too. It is cheap and very comfortable. Thats why we are still here. We feel really well here.
We met a German guy and an Australian who are also still here. And it is great to have some other people around.
We were already rafting on the Snowy River and we were Horse Riding! Both was just great! I got an injured ankle when we were rafting but it was a good experience. Fortunately there was not too much wild water in the river but still enough. We had a good group and a lot of fun.
The horse riding was first a little bit scaring. My horse is called Strawberry. Don't ask why. I don't know. We were alone with our guide all the time and he guided us thru the forest. We were beginners but it was great: just go for it and try if you can stay on the horses back. And it was such a fun. My horse took really care of me. It was always looking for a safe way and I wasn't scared at all. Great, great, great!
We would also love to do some abseiling (yes, me too!) and we will go hiking another day to go to the top of the biggest mountain! Somebody was saying there is still snow or at least ice. In Australia! We have to see that!
The activities are all in the morning and so we are always free for the rest of the day. So we can go swimming in this huge lake. This is such a nice life. We really love it here.
The sunsets are beautiful. The town is small and quite but all is so relaxed here! We are a little bit sad that we have to leave this weekend but we have to go on. And we will always remember this place.
