DRIVING UP THE MOUNTAIN

Pre Journey Check List

  1. Ensure that vehicle has been checked over mechanically … breakdowns in the snow can be a greater hassle than they usually are.
  2. Make sure that you have a good battery. The cold will affect a faulty battery.
  3. Check that you have anti-freeze in your radiator.

CHAINS - Both a practical and a legal requirement. It is only necessary to fit chains when snow is falling faster than it can be cleared away and there are signs placed at intervals along the road into Falls Creek to advise when they are required. Chains are available for hire from a number of locations in Mt Beauty and PLEASE pay attention to the fitting instructions. Fitting chains quickly and efficiently reduces the amount of time you will need to spend standing out in the weather.
