Mansfield Motel is the newest motel in Mansfield. Although originally built in the 1960′s, there have been extensive renovations and improvements in recent years. Our Premier Rooms are are shown here. All rooms will soon be of this same high standard as we complete the renovation in 2010.
These rooms are AAA rated as four-star and we are confident that guests will be most comfortable. Rooms have a high level of equipment not found in many other four-star properties. Microwaves and kitchen equipment, split AC and Austar are some of the features of our rooms.
Mansfield Motel is close to all ski hire, restaurants and bars. A perfect base for all Mt Buller ski activities. Only 40 minutes from Mt Buller makes us an ideal location for your ski accommodation. Less costly than most mountain accommodation makes Mansfield Motel a sensible option for families, groups and couples.
Mansfield Motel offers quality accommodation of a high standard that is sometimes hard to find in the country. Quality that is affordable as a longer term option.
Renovations have been completed on Mansfield Motel’s final stage. This is an exciting time and we can now offer 8 more four star rooms. Contact the motel for details as we are accepting bookings for the new rooms. See the progress on our Renovation-link.

V.S.B.C Club race day! by ramsay_turmoil »
Mon Jul 12, 2010 5:40 pm
Hey boys and girls, In conjunction with John Thomas and the Victorian Speed Boat Club, we are in the final stages of planning a club race day at Lake Nillacootie, near Benalla in Victoria.
Around 2.5 hours from Melbourne, and 1.5 hours from Albury/wodonga.
Date we have planned is Sunday the 3rd of October, which is the weekend between AFL grand final and Bathurst. Its 2 weekends before the UIM thing at Gol Gol too so may be a test day for anyone running there?
This is the first race meeting I have had involvement in organizing and am hoping for lots of support as I think it would be great to see more racing in Victoria. It is a new venue and has not seen powerboat racing in years, the VDBC use to run meetings there in the 80’s and 90’s quite successfully. It has a massive bitumen area that can comfortably cater for 40 boats, toilet facilities and 2 ramps.
Will be getting some local businesses behind the event to sponsor races, im also planning on approaching some of the local car clubs about putting on a display of classic/modified cars on the bank.
We will be catering for all boats from juniors and outboards to blown rigs! Will get more info through to you guys as we get closer, will be putting together some driver’s packs which will be sent out by mail.
Look forward to hearing from anyone interested! Kind regards Brett Ramsay Turmoil 5.2 turmoil_racing@hotmail.com 0407 355 697

Week Six and they are all finished. Rooms went online starting on 5th July. We have finished one at a time and they are now all available. We have reduced the tariff for a short time as the rooms aren’t fully completed. Although the building and decorating has been finished, we are still waiting for curtains to arrive. So we have placed some temporary curtains in the rooms for the next week or two. Dining tables and chairs arrived on Wednesday 7th July and will be installed as soon as possible. A few other furniture items will arrive on the weekend which will complete the rooms.
Our three family rooms will be renovated in September, after the snow season.

Although visually, things appear to have slowed down, there has been a lot of progress. The rooms are nearly ready for carpet and light fittings. Most of the painting has been done and plumbing and electrical work has had some major progress.
To get the rooms back on-line as quickly as possible, we will suspend the renovation for a few months, until after the snow season. The five rooms depicted here are to be finished very soon but the family rooms will have to wait until September. Other works such as replacing and raising the carport supports will also have to wait. This delay will reduce impact on guests as we can then keep the Drying Room open and utilise the new rooms.

Craigs Hut in snow
Craigs Hut with snow
Craigs Hut covered in snow
Images taken just before track closure on Queens Birthday 2010. I took a drive up to Mt Stirling after turning off near Mirimbah.
The track was heavily snowed over and very slippery. I got to Craig’s Hut a little later than I intended but there was still enough light left for a few shots. The sky was overcast and I was hoping for some good light on the front of the hut but that didn’t really happen. There was still some good color in the sky to make some nice images. These shots were basically as taken with a little work to bring out the sky. I would normally have used a grad filter but I used some post grad instead.
Equipment: Canon 5D MkII and L lenses.

First snows herald the coming ski season at Mt Buller
24 May 2010 |
|
| Mt Buller has had its first significant snowfalls for the winter season overnight as a cold front hit the High Country bringing around 2-3cm of snow. The Resort received a dusting on 11 April, however these new falls have blanketed the Village in a beautiful white cover.
The official opening of the ski season is still more than five weeks away, however the cold weather and early falls have been greeted with much excitement around the mountain with locals getting out and celebrating this morning.
Buller Ski Lifts’ General Manager, Laurie Blampied said: “It’s not unusual to have snowfalls in May but it is always exciting when the first real signs of winter arrive. It is terrific to have this early snow to start building a good base for the heavier falls to come and for when we start snowmaking in the coming weeks.”
The good news for skiers is that there seems to be plenty more snow on the way. “Long-range weather forecasters are talking about an above average snowfall year with significant falls later in May, as well as July and September. It’s also been a wet start to the year and with water in Lake Eyre the signs are looking positive” explains Laurie Blampied.
Mr Blampied explained it has been a busy summer at Mt Buller with over $1 million invested in expanded snowmaking operations on Wombat and Howqua, plus ongoing revitalisation of the lifting network with Koflers T-bar converting from diesel to cleaner, greener electricity.
Another significant project underway before the opening of the ski season is the installation of two carpet lifts at the popular Burnt Hut beginner ski area at Mt Buller. The 30 year old Burnt Hut triple chairlift lived up to its name in February when it was hit by lightning and extensively damaged from the resulting fire. The temporary carpet lifts will ensure this ideal ski area is kept open this season and a bigger and better replacement lift is planned for 2011.
Chief Executive Officer of the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resort Management Board, John Huber, said the combination of early snow and positive long-range weather predictions should provide sensational conditions for the coming snow season. “We are gearing up for what we expect will be a fantastic season here at Mt Buller, with everyone working hard to ensure our visitors have the best possible snow experience.
“Our reservations team has been busy taking bookings and it is hoped that the Winter Olympics motivates people to try something new or visit Mt Buller for the first time. With a huge range of activities both on and off the snow, Mt Buller has something for all ages and interests.”
Mt Buller has Victoria’s largest lifting system with 22 lifts moving 40,000 skiers and boarders every hour to more than 300 hectares of skiable terrain. It is Australia’s most accessible major ski resort just three hours drive north-east of Melbourne.
The 2010 ski season opens with celebrations across the Queen’s Birthday long weekend from June 12. For information, tickets and accommodation go to mtbuller.com.au |

Lauriston’s main campus is located in Armadale, seven km from the Melbourne CBD.[9] The Armadale campus is architecturally interesting as it comprises not only classic Victorian buildings (such as Montrose in the primary school area), but also newer buildings such as a science and technology center constructed from energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly materials. Years kindergarten through 12, excluding year 9, are educated at the Armadale campus.
The school has a rural campus for its year 9 students, known as ‘Howqua’, near the town of Mansfield in the Victoria highcountry.[9] Attendance is compulsory for all year 9 students, with the girls spending the whole school year on the campus as full-time boarders. It is similar to ‘Timbertop’ run by Geelong Grammar School, but students generally take part in a wider range of outdoor activities. Students at Howqua participate in activities such as skiing, horse riding, solo camping, hiking, rafting, rock climbing and other outdoor recreational activities.
There are now 10 houses, each able to hold 12 girls although generally holding 10. The campus also offers a dining hall, a “dungeon” (the fire shelter), class rooms, Resource center, music rooms, health center, art center, dance studio and staff houses. The campus offers great running tracks such as ring road, rainbow track, wier track (a 4 km run), lone pine (originally named Peg Slam J- using the letters of the girls names who built the track as part of their community service) and more. It began in 1993 and in 1997 it became compulsory for students to attend the Howqua campus for the duration of a full school year. Originally students stayed at Howqua for 1 semester only, now it is cumpulsary for them to stay the whole year.
In the 2006/2007 summer holidays, bushfires greatly threatened the Howqua Campus.
The campus was also very threatened by fires and evacuated for the first time in early 2009.
The 10 houses are: Hollyer Gillespie Thompson O’Brien Fitz-Gibbon Wirringa 96 Arthur-Robinson Cramond Mirrabooka Kirkpatrick

Michael and Sally Watson welcome you to an adventure experience. Horses and the magnificent High Country are both a way of life and a passion for us.
Michael began riding almost as soon as he could walk, and is the second generation in his family to saddle up the horses and guide visitors deep into ‘Man from Snowy River’ country, including the famous jump scene from the movie. Sally also began riding as a child, and is an expert polocrosse player who has represented Victoria in this sport.
Michael’s family have lived on a 730 acre farm adjoining the High Country for 50 years, and are close friends with the fifth generation of farming families who settled in this region in the 1870s. Michael has roamed the hills with these mountain cattlemen countless times, and developed much of his vast local knowledge from them.
Our farm is an authentic working property, complete with 80 year old house and stables, 70 horses and family dogs who welcome guests back from their ride. The farmhouse has a story of its own, as it was built by John Shanks whose uncle, Sergeant Michael Kennedy, was shot dead by bushranger Ned Kelly’s infamous gang.
We have three children: Rebecca, 9, who is already an avid rider, Nicholas, 7 and Max, 2 years of age.
Our business is one of only two in Australia with accreditation from the Association of Horsemanship Standards and Education, which sets the world’s highest safety standards.
We run our rides 7 days a week through all seasons, be it in the warmth of an oilskin coat in the cool weather or enjoying relief from the heat in a high country summer.
