There's a good slide-show of the snowfall that affected SE Queensland,

I saw the snow cover from 30-odd thousand feet on the 18th. Quite impressive.
It was the heaviest fall in Queensland since 1984.


Wow, I'm surprised such significant now could occur so far north in Australia. Do you know the altitude of where the snow fell, some of those shots looks quite hilly.

Unsurprisingly it looks like quite a wet fall with nothing really freezing. Reminds me of a cold showery NW flow here. Do you know how long the snow lay in the area?
