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.

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.
