I enjoyed the drive, seeing a bit of the Australian countryside. It looks a bit similar to New Zealand. The cows are healthy and sheeps have thick wool. We saw a lot of wineries too! I learned that one of them was was the famous Yarra Valley.
Marysville is a small and sleepy town. Almost similar to Devonport except that it is not an island. The town proper itself has just a few shops! I saw two shops that rents out/sells snow clothings and accessories, and toboggan and ski equipment. We rented our stuff at Crosscountry Ski Hire. The adult package which consists of overpants, boots and toboggan costs $21. We bought snow gloves for $5 a pair. We also bought an entry ticket for $41 per car (max of 8 passengers), which is cheaper since the ticket at the entrance costs $51 and way way cheaper if you compare it to the snow bus which costs about $30 per passenger.
I stayed at Marysville Caravan and Holiday park for tonight. For $60, I had my own room, toilet, fridge, TV, microwave and tea and toast making facilities. And the bed had a bed warmer. There's a few family cabin in the area. Some families even opted to stay in their tents. It might have been a cold night for them.
The warmer worked. I was sweating by the middle of the night. But the air conditioner/heater was noisy! It automatically shuts down and turns on when it reaches a certain temperature. And the noise that it makes would really wake you up! In the end, I just switched it off to and I was glad that this tropical kid survived the cold night with just a bed warmer.
