After Mansfield, it takes approximately 45 mins to reach foot of Mt Buller where all the buses are parked. Changed into our clothes and ski boats, we took a free shuttle bus up the mountains.
“ Mt Buller is one of Australia’s premier ski resorts. The ski fields are vast, covering all four sides of the mountain and...
