About Falls Creek
Falls Creek is a family-friendly resort and suited more for repeat visitors to the snow. It’s 5 hours by coach from the heart of
Melbourne city. Falls Creek is Australia’s only true ski in/ski out village, quintessentially modelled on European resorts. The
village is picturesque, compact and ideally suited for ski-in and ski-out lifestyle. The Night Show is one of Falls Creek’s most
famous night time entertainment events. Each Thursday night, in July & August, the village bowl lights up with on-slope
performances and a spectacular fireworks finale.
Unique adventure snow activities include snow bikes on designated circuit from A$38 per daytime session and A$40 on
Wednesday or Saturday nights or snow mobile tours. You may also ride the summit chairlift to the top and watch the exquisite
sunset with a glass of bubbles A$47 (adult) or board the heli link to Hotham.
About Mt Hotham
Mt Hotham is known as the “powder capital” of Australia. Mt Hotham is the highest mountain of the 3 Victoria’s snow resorts.
At Hotham, you sleep on top of the mountain amongst the stars, not under them. Sunrise brings spectacular views as you
step from your door straight onto the slopes. Unique activities include kids snowmobiling from A$15 per 15-minute session (only
resort in Australia to offer kids snowmobiling) and dogsledding tours from A$115 (A) and A$65 (C). Enjoy the thrill of being
guided through Dinner Plain by a team of Siberian Husky dogs - the only place in Australia to enjoy Winter dogsledding!
Hotham boasts Australia’s highest and only alpine airport and is the only resort in Australia with direct flights from a capital
city to the resort.
About Mt Buller
Mt Buller is Australia’s most accessible snowfield, 3 hours from MEL. It has a well-developed apres ski alpine village catering for
beginners to experienced skiers. It has the most extensive ski lift system in Australia; 22 lifts capable of moving 40,000 people
each hour! With more terrain parks, wide open runs, steep narrow chutes, trails, bump runs, groomers, flats, perfect fall lines,
tree skiing and bluffs, you can board, freestyle, carve, cruise, race, downhill, cross-country or free ski in more places and in
more ways than you can imagine at Mt Buller.
All the 3 resorts offers “on snow” accommodation, meaning you can ski in and ski out from your accommodation, and
downhill skiing. Further, all 3 resorts also have free iPad and iPhone apps to check on snow conditions!
Editor’s Note
Good day to all,
I’m always amazed by how fast time has flown by. It’s already mid-year!
While kids have fun during the June Holidays, the adults carry on with their
jobs, while constantly searching for something new to make their mundane
life more interesting. I would say travelling would be a great way to spice
up your life. What’s more, you have worked hard for half a year, so it’s time
to rewind and relax in a place other than Singapore.
Well, recently, I’ve gone on a work trip to South Korea for our Korea Trailblazer
campaign. I’m there as a videographer, photographer and a travel
partner. Haha, as you may have heard, we have selected 5 lucky candidates
to travel to different parts of South Korea, free and easy style! I
was assigned to tag along three of our candidates, Edmund, Mabel and
Maziah to Jeonju, Jeju Island and Gwangwon-Do respectively. It was tiring,
but it was lots of fun! So my point is… travelling is fun, no matter what the
purpose is. If there is a chance to travel, don’t let it slip away!
Love,
Chermaine
Happy Holidays
