Sydney to Melbourne via Snowy Mountains

Autumn in Khancoban

Departed Sydney 7:30 and arriving at Cooma 16:00. Stayed in Cooma motor inn (in front of McDonalds). Great Chinese restaurant there. Fog and cold weather and avoided Cabramurra.

Departed from Cooma at 7:30 and arriving in Melbourne 19:00.

Beautiful roads and scenery, some snow. Some problems with carb icing (too cold!)
