Our members from Falls Creek and Mount Beauty braved the elements last week to conduct snow chain compliance checks along the Bogong High Plains Road 🚔🏔️
While weekend conditions may have improved, it’s important to remember that they can change very quickly in the alpine environment.
As the snow season gains momentum and holiday crowds head to the mountains, police are warning that too many drivers are ignoring safety advice – and putting themselves and others at serious risk.
Regardless of how long you plan to stay, it’s a legal requirement to carry chains and fit them when directed – this means, making sure you have a set on hand before trekking up the mountain.
Chains can be the difference between staying on the road or sliding off it.
