 Kosciusko 1955 was totally different from Kosciusko 1954. For one thing we were staying in a proper hut, and for another there was plenty of snow.
-We left Sydney on the Friday night, bound for Cooma, on the Kosciusko Express. That a misnomer. It went sos1owl7 and stopped so many times at so many places that we could have walked quicker, Eventually we got to Cooma, found our bus, end with a sigh of relief got aboard. The bus started and off we went, or so we thought. Into the township and the bus stopped and we got out for a breakfast everyone but us wanted. The bus eventually came back, but it wasntt the same one. Some of our luggage had disappeared and where it was we hadntt a clue. To start with we had had our packs and the kero. tin of food on our bus, while our skiis, etc., were on the other one. Now there were no packs and no kero. tin and we were imagining a cold and hungry stay at Kosciusko.
-At the Hotel we lined up for our boots, only to be told that all the Chalet types had to get their stuff first, As some of them were on the second bus we had to wait and hope. Meanwhile some of our luggage had gone up to Smigginrs in the first bus and we caught a glimpse of our packs as they were dumped in a heap with the luggage from the second bus. Boots we eventually got, and then we too were off to Smiggin's in a third bus.

+Afore said Smiggin's was a scene of luggage, luggage and more luggage with people trying to find it. Us too. We found our packs (big sigh) and the kero. tin (another big sigh) and my skiis, but Bab's skiis had disappeared. She got them back three days later from the Chalet, and even then had to go and get them. After a wait of 2 hours we rode the snowmobile up to the CSIRO hut, and if anyone has ever had a ride in one of these "things" they will understand why I said "rode".

+We arrived in a blizzard and left in the rain, and from that you can deduce what the weather was like. The first week we got 1 1/2 days skiing, and the second week wasn't much better. The comfort of the hut, however, made up for any lack of skiing. It is a nice warm hut with plenty of cooking appliances (except when 12 people tried to cook tea at once), and best of all we had innerspring mattresses to sleep on. No more boots and waterbuckets freezing to the floor; no more cooking on one primus and having tea from 5.30 to 9.0.

+The bods we were staying with were, I an glad to say, just as mad as we are. There was Hank who loved to sing, but unfortunately sang all songs to the same tune, and Phillip who had a habit of trying to laugh with his mouth full. This proved disasterous when he tried it with a mouthful of custard; from then on we came to the table in groundsheets. Then there were Margo and Judy W.1, who insisted of singing "Happy, Happy Africa" 222,222 times per day, and Betty who loved making date puddings, Jean who interminably made up powdered milk, and Bill-Stan who couldn't make out why Babs and I insisted on eating powdered potato. As well there was Arthur, who was violently ill after having eaten some banana custard which Babs made. I might mention that Babs and I had some too and were, and still are, in the best of health.

 I would like to pass on some handy advice to anyone thinking of going skiing this or any other year:-
 . Have, as far as possible, all your own gear.
 . Get a long piece of rope and tie all your gear together, then tie the rope around your waist, and never, never untie it till you get to your destination.
