1956 Snow At Gnowangerup Gordon and Barry Freegard were waiting in an old water tank that had been converted into a school bus stop shelter when it started to snow. Both had never seen snow before. Then the three dutch children who caught the school bus at the same stop, came running, laughing and playing snowballs, as they approached the bus stop. They made fun of the Freegard boys for sheltering away from the snow. |

1965 Snow At Gnowangerup Snow covered the ground to depths of 3 inches (7.6cm) at many places in the lower Great Southern district. The heaviest falls were near the Stirling Ranges, where up to 6 to 8 inches (15-20cm) covered paddocks near Borden, north of the ranges. Mr. V. Muir of Borden used a tractor to tow his family around their snow covered paddocks on a sleigh improvised from a sheet of iron. Snow covered the ground and roofs to provide a scene not witnessed many times by residents of Borden.
