Recently Falls Creek hosted an alpine cricket game at the top of the mountain at Cloud 9 with special guests Adam Gilchrist and Pete the Snow Dragon
Gilly and his family love Falls Creek and this holiday he got to combine two of his passions. After a day of skiing in glorious sunshine, Gilly turned up with his kids in tow to Cloud 9 for an alpine cricket match with Pete the Dragon.
They were joined by about 100 guests (kids and adults alike) who came to have a bat, have a bowl, take a dive in the snow with Gilly and Pete. Check out the video on Falls Australia Instragram for all the action!
The weather has been amazing for Gilly’s visit, with extensive terrain open across the mountain, including two terrain parks, with dustings of snow (both fresh and man made) every day.
Gilly and his family booked in for lessons with Falls Creek Snowsports school, with everyone looking to take their skiing and boarding to the next level. With over 170 highly qualified instructors from Australia and around the world, they make learning fun, and help everyone progress.
Gilly hosted après ski drinks at the newly refurbished luxury chalet Astra, where there was plenty of cricket banter to be had. Tom the manager of Astra is a proud Brit, so there were some tricky questions particularly around the Ashes, and some great stories told of epic matches and some of the most loved cricket identities.
Whether you’re visiting Falls Creek this week or next, there’s always plenty to do for all of the family.
With recent snow falls, the season is getting better and better!

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.
