Hi all. I'm hoping to go ski at Perisher during the second week of July. I'm driving down from Brisbane.

From what I can find out, I'm better off staying off the mountain (somewhere like Crackenback) and driving up each day. This is due to the lack of overnight parking on the mountain, and the cost of the Snowtube. Is my understanding correct?

I'll either drive in a Golf GTI or a VF Commodore wagon, I know I'll need snow chains. Either should be ok to drive up the mountain if I'm sensible, right?

Is there likely to be enought snow to make it worth the trip?

We've had a couple of ski trips in NZ over the years - so we aren't complete beginners.

Thanks all!

Somehow I got the Tadpole stuck under the map. I was just cruising around the hot area (with the tadpole dock). I was just cruising around some caves, looked away for a sec... and somehow I was out of the map.

Unstuck didn't work. I tried it outside of the Tadpole... and if course I ended up back at my base with the Tadpole.. still under the map.

Any way to get it back or is it gone forever?

I come across this sometimes in Queensland. Is it a regional thing?

I've heard it in Melbourne too, but not Adelaide.

After stripping down my O+ due to water damage, I stupidly managed to damage one of the screen ribbon connectors on the main board.

Bit of a long shot - does anyone have a broken O+ that I could salvage the main board from?

I'm in Australia, so if anyone happens to be near Brisbane, that would be a bonus :)
