Free Snow Play and Tobogganing near Melbourne

Mount Donna Buang is probably the closest mountain that has snow in winter around Melbourne. It has sufficient snow for tobogganing a few times a year if lucky. As to snow, it needs sub-zero temperature and water. As the mountain is not high enough, it gets to sub-zero only once a while. At the same time, we need rain/water so it can snow. That does not happen often, but when it does, it's lots of fun.

It's free. No entry fee, parking fee, nothing. It's close to Melbourne. Took my family less than 50 minutes to get there. This would be the best destination for some who do not like to drive hours to see snow.

Before you go, you will need to check this page to see the snow update to avoid disappointment. There are lots of tips on the page as well.

How to get to Mt Donna Buang?

Drive to Warburton on the Warburton Highway, stay on the Warburton highway through Warburton, go past the service station and IGA, past the Seventh Day Adventist Church, over a small bridge and head left at the Warburton Motel sign up the C507 Donna Buang Road.

The Don Valley Road is usually closed in winter - so drive through Warburton and turn left at the Warburton Motel sign up Donna Buang

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan. I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018. It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while. Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone. Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article, https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html . Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router! Hope it helps.

Brivis Heater - Error Code #69

My Brivis HX23 Heater broke down this week. H01 Code #69. This code was not even listed in the User Manual! Searching around the web and here is what I found: Secret Reset: This is not in the User Manual. On the networker controller press FUNCTION > 1 > 4 keys and the screen will go blank and come back on after 30 seconds, this has rebooted the main PCB and reset the fault code. Use this with caution as too much gas build up could cause an explosion. Use it only after the unit has enough time to air out the gas build up. What is Code #69 or any other unpublished codes? The best way to find out is to open up the heater unit. There is a little LCD on the PCB showing what error exactly is. (Note: Opening up the unit may void your warranty.)
