A milder winter and unseasonal weather does not mean that winter has fully taken flight from towns like Mansfield in Victoria.
I spoke with Christine Souter today from the Mansfield Lakeside Ski Village and she told me that it had been a milder winter than normal.
However, the end of winter does not mean that caravan parks in places like Mansfield hibernate. Far from it for the change of seasons opens up kinder weather for caravanners.
Mansfield is a town of 4,000 people and is situated a short drive of 183km from Melbourne.
A change of air and a change of altitude may appeal to many in Melbourne who prepare for the scorching temperatures of summer.
