Snow Australia - 150 Years of Skiing Part 1

http://www.snow-australia.com Skiing in Australia is 150 years old, it is very much part of our heritage. The story of Australia's 150 years of skiing heritage is entirely intertwined with the Kiandra ski club, the longest continuously running ski club in the world. With skiings inherently European flavour this historical fact often comes as a surprise, a surprise that underpins Australia's love of the snow, its sophisticated resorts and its international success in competitive snow sport.

This is a small relief effort for the survivors of Japan's 2011 magnitude 9.0 quake that triggered massive tsunamis destroying much of the coast of northern Honshu.

Two Australian's living in Niseko Hokkaido loaded a van and drove to the most affected areas to deliver food, water and basic supplies. The rest of the nation was crippled by fuel shortages and aid was subsequently stalled. ;

This is a small relief effort.
