Mount Donna Buang is located just outside of Melbourne and during winter can have snow.  This is not a skiing mountain but a more a place to take the kids and experience the wonderment of snow in the winter without having to travel for hours to the Victorian snow fields.

Mt Donna Buang is located east of Melbourne, take the Maroondah Highway to Lilydale and the Warburton Highway to Warburton. Travel through the town and on the eastern side is a clearly signed route to the Mount.   There are signs that advise that a toll is payable and this is generally only when the snow is good. The road to the summit is sealed and easy to drive. Signage also advises chains be carried during heavy snow periods. In most cases they are not needed but should be fitted when advised. 

The drive to the summit is picturesque with large tree ferns and tall gum trees. The excitement builds when snow starts to pile up on the side of the road.  There is a large carpark a couple of kilometers from the summit which appears to be used when the road is closed due to heavy snow.  The summt also has a car park so drive to the top if you are able to.

The  snow itself is great for snow man making, walking, tobogganing. There is no resort at the top, nor food so pack a meal or eat and drink a Warburton.
