For those unaware of its whereabouts, Oberon is on the Central Tablelands and about three hours from Sydney with altitude reaching near 1400 metres south of the town - at Shooters Hill.

Inches and inches of fallling snow in the township itself and huge dumps near shooters hill. I drove up there, after locals advised me not to, in my trusty old Corona and almost made it to Shooters Hill before the car lost traction and slid into a shallow ditch (a four wheel drive lost it and totally got bogged nearby, I was lucky) I've got picks of my car's slide/skid marks and all.

The snow on the road was too high for the car to drive over in the end so I had to drive back (after heaps of photos) as the snow got really heavy.

looks back at my car, which was my turn-around point as the snow, (as you can see) was too thick to drive any further
