It’s hard to imagine we are already into August! It’s usually a cold month, but that’s ok because with the cold comes the snow!
There’s still heaps of fun to be had in winter, as long as you know where to go to find it.
Mt Hotham and Falls Creek are amazing mountains, each offering something unique and different. Mt Buller is another terrain that offers snow bunnies a chance to get their snow legs and experience activities such as skiing and snowboarding.
Now as a word of warning, going to the snow, means preparation—you need to wear the right clothing. If your feet are warm I guarantee you will be much happier at the snow. I’ve written some “must wears” when going to the snow and tips on how to stay warm.
Ever had the chance to go ballooning? Once upon a time, you never would have contemplated something like this, however now it is becoming more and more mainstream as an activity on many people’s bucket lists.
I can’t say it was actually on my bucket list, but given the chance to float above the Yarra Valley I think it should be added to yours.
The Grampians as usual is always a favourite place to visit—whether it be winter or summer you’ll always find things to do. Grampian Helicopters is once again an amazing way to see the area.

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.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
