And boy, are you going to love it…so get your ski gear out, the hills are waiting
The snow season is off to a great start with early falls kicking it off. The teams at Hotham and Falls have been keeping me in the “loop”, and this year is expected to be another bumper season. For those who have never been to the snow it’s an absolutely fabulous experience, as long as you follow some important rules. Over the next few months, I am going to help you with the process, as I did last year. Just remember it is better to be dressed properly than for fashion. However, the snow gear around these days is both warm, comfortable and fashionable.

High heels are out and snow boots are in. With anything, planning a trip to the snow takes a little fore-thought and attention to detail. But, it’s well worth the effort. Last year, I took a group of first time skiers up and under my very patient guidance, they are now converted. It does take a couple days to get your “ski legs”, so don’t be too hard on yourself. Take a couple of days up there and it is worth spending a few dollars on taking a lesson or two.

I took a trip out to Yarra Valley—where along with some friends sampled some of the finest wines available. Unfortunately, being the designated driver I had to be responsible though. The Yarra Valley is a slice of paradise with over 50 wineries, small and large dotted throughout the valley.
It’s just over an hour’s drive east of Melbourne and is absolutely impossible to get around in one day. Do as I did, and select the winery you wish to visit—in my case Domaine Chardon and spoil yourself.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
