After approximately two hours sleep due to Julie Mott's non-stop talking and dancing, we FII\ALLY arrived in Sydney at Central Station. Some girls were even game enough to eat the breakfast. Everyone's anatomy, especially their posterior, was sore from the bus so we stretched and stretched. We then drove around Sydney town with none other that the non-talkative Coach Captain Peter Anderson. We all slept a little until-we finally arrived at the most beautiful Motel ever built iir Albury. No one really minded as long as there was a bed and a shower. Sunday morning we just drove along through small towns and finally arrived at our distination "Bon Accord". Our first impressions were dis- appointing, not like our dream and not a fall of snow to be seen. After settling in, we attempted hiking up Mt. Feathertop, and Miss Vernon was even a little frightened of a two foot wide stream. That night the three and a half dozen of us were fitted with our "Herman Munster', ski- boots, skis and stocks. Joanne was the best "Herman" and Janice and Pam were so excited that they skied on the carpet in the hallway of "Bon Accord". __.On Monday morning we all woke early to Mrs. K's knock. knocks and left for the snowfields of Mt. Buffalo. Little did we know that snow was _o-ver one and a half hours away. At Bright, Ted FIoy, our ski instructor ioined the partv. " . Eventually we hit the snowfields'and attempted to ski. Diane was undoubtedly the best groind- snow-bunny with Kristina a -close secorid. Hot lulches were cooked every dav by our bus driver. That night a new Victoriin Scho6l tio- Sevmou. arrived. After a short dance with the gooO ba"a, a juke-box. all of us went to bed after"a l,o"g Oa/.

On Friday morning we had our last ski at Mt, Buffalo. Penny was most enthusiastic and actually got onto the Pomma run and skied down safely. We all returned to Harrietville to load the bris and depart for Albury for two nights accommoda- tion at the Jasper Motel. We had to go interstate for our tea - Wodonga in Victoria - where Peter Kugelman had a-romantic dinner of stew for three and a half dozen at Joe's Diner.
