Lake Mountain, Victoria - it is not winter

It looks like winter, but we are in the peak of spring. The trees are dead. A huge bushfire came through here in February, 2009. Many people were killed in Marysville, the town at the bottom of the mountain.
This area is the main area for cross country skiing in Victoria and is a short drive from Melbourne (less than 2 hours).
