Mount Hotham - Victoria

No wise words here.

Part of the route taken driving a Citroën DS21 Sydney to Tasmania included travelling through the Australian Alpine regions. We headed inland from the coast (after visiting family members in Narooma and Bega) towards Jindabyne to spend a night at a B&B. What a superb B&B it was ( http://www.andreaswhitehouse.com/ ). If you are looking for somewhere away from it all without quite being away from it all try this place!
The next day we continued up over the mountains from New South Wales and into the state of Victoria bound for Mount Hotham. This time we took up rooms in the Aasgard Ski Lodge. Built in 1972 it matched the age of the car! Great rooms and only us there for the night. Food options were limited as we were out of season but a short drive found an open pub with typical pub food. The weather gave me everything I wanted out of this region. Mist, horizontal rain, wind and a nice chill in the air. The next day a 70 km drive through fog completed my Alpine experience.
