The outcome of the unseasonal weather over the weekend was anything but summer-like. Considering it is only a week to the start of the walking-friendly, warmer weather. It was a surprise for Falls Creek residents to see the alpine resort resemble a mid-winter look and feel yesterday. About 30cm of snow settled in the Village Bowl giving the resort's young residents a bonus skiing and snow play opportunity.

 Anything but snow (and associated cool weather) is what's on the agenda for the forthcoming Christmas holidays. The line-up of summer activities begin in earnest on Boxing Day with a mile-high cricket match in the Nordic Bowl.
It will be a mini-tournament using modified beach cricket rules with teams of 6 competing in a family-friendly, limited overs format that suits all ages and abilities.
