Snow falls on Bluff Knoll in WA's Stirling Range National Park
Visitors from as far as Perth made the hike up Bluff Knoll in WA's Great Southern region on Monday, the only location in the state to routinely see snow.
While the mercury did not dip as low as predicted, near-freezing temperatures allowed for a slight covering of snow, rewarding hikers who made the 1,100-metre climb.
"We timed it really well ... when we got up there, the cloud closed around us a little bit and then it started snowing on us, which was awesome," hiker Jamie Titmuss said.
"For what we experienced up there, even having a drink at some of the waterfalls that are coming down in various spots up there, that was sensational as well."
Bunbury hikers Finn and Mia were among those who woke in the early hours to trek to the peak, starting their ascent at about 4am.
Braving icy cold temperatures and strong winds, the hikers were delighted with their experience at the top.
"It's massive ... we could nearly go skiing. We made a snowman," Finn said.
At Mt Trio Bush Camp at the base of the peak, operator John Byrne told the ABC he was looking forward to an influx of hikers dropping in to the "ski lodge" to pick up their Bluff Knoll Ski Club membership.
Entry to the tongue-in-cheek club is simple — all they need to do is touch powder during their climb.
"Apparently, there are flurries of snow up there," Mr Byrne said.
"Nobody has come back to the ski lodge this morning yet, but there is a lady who wants to pack a thermos of snow and bring it back to the lodge as proof that she's touched the powder and she's going to be a member."
The Bureau of Meteorology said another cold front in the coming days should create ideal snow conditions on Thursday.
"This also looks like it's got a decent cold pool behind it and the timing looks a little more user-friendly as well, perhaps, the coldest temperatures at some time during Thursday daytime," meteorologist Jessica Lingard said.

Busselton residents fear safety impacts of mobile signal shortfall
Residents in the West Australian tourism hub of Busselton say frequent dropouts in phone and internet service are an unacceptable impost on public safety and trade. The situation left a family in a life-threatening situation and unable to call triple-0 as a fire swept through their property earlier this year. Jane Bennett lives on a rural property within the City of Busselton, about 230 kilometres south of Perth and a 20-minute drive to Busselton's CBD. In January, her husband Owen Bennett was faced with the daunting task of battling a fire on his own, unable to call for help because of an unplanned outage of a nearby phone tower. "He's in direct line of sight to the tower, which is about a kilometre away, and he's calling triple-0 and it doesn't connect," Ms Bennett said. "He was in panic." Ms Bennett said her husband managed to find a signal on a neighbour's property and it was a "miracle" their house was saved when firefighters arrived an hour later. She said when they asked Telstra about the unplanned outage they were told it was caused by a severed fibre-optic cable at Bridgetown, 80 kilometres away. Telstra told the Bennetts the cable was "cut due to nearby third-party excavation works". As Australia's national operator of the triple-0 service, Telstra is required to have fail-safe systems and processes for emergencies. A Telstra spokesperson said residents were informed of outages on its website. "We are very saddened to hear of any damage or loss due to natural disasters," the spokesperson said. "In times of mobile outages, it's important that households have access to a second form of connectivity as a back-up — this could be fixed NBN, satellite or landline services." Businesses in the heart of Busselton said they wanted better telecommunications, saying it was important to cope with demand during peak holiday periods and the dropouts were a public safety issue. Busselton Chamber of Commerce chief executive Victoria Yuen said connectivity was a big issue hitting business bottom lines, particularly in the busy summer months when pressure on telecommunications was at its peak. "The main issues are dropouts of phones," she said. "Dropouts when people are trying to work from home. Payment systems not working. Ms Yuen said she had been pushing for improved telecommunications infrastructure in Busselton for years but the issue was largely overlooked. She said it was embarrassing that business owners had to walk to the end of their driveway to get a decent phone signal. "We can't just keep saying, 'Oh it's OK. This is what happens,'" Ms Yuen said. "No, that's not a decent enough excuse anymore." The City of Busselton is home to more than 40,000 people, according to the 2021 census, and is considered one of the fastest growing regional cities in WA. Busselton Mayor Phill Cronin said phone and internet coverage had diminished in the area over the past five years, which he believed was due to inadequate telecommunications infrastructure. "I've heard sometimes they [telecommunications companies] are unable to put towers up because they can't get the power to the towers," he said. "It's a whole-of-infrastructure issue that really does need to be addressed." Cr Cronin said the council had received a number of reports from concerned residents about the issue. "We've seen unfortunately during some recent fires where one of the towers was down, the DFES emergency warnings weren't being sent out and people weren't even able to make triple-0 calls," he said. "That is a major concern for our community." The mayor said he had reached out to federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowland about the issue. "Communications is predominantly the responsibility of the federal [government], but the infrastructure is a state responsibility," he said. "If the area is expected to grow, and it will continue to grow, we need the infrastructure here in place before that can occur." Last month, South West councils voted to ask the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) to lobby the state and federal governments for improved telecommunication infrastructure. A state government spokesperson told the ABC they had continued to co-invest in projects which increased capacity and strengthened the resilience of telecommunications in regional businesses and communities. Ms Rowland was contacted for comment.

Foreign workers reflect on life at Auski Roadhouse in WA's Pilbara
Auski Roadhouse is not the kind of place featured in Australia's multi-million-dollar tourism campaigns. Temperatures at the remote fuel stop, 1,368 kilometres north of Perth along the Great Northern Highway, routinely hit the mid-40s in summer. Flies swarm anything moving and the nearest town is more than 150km away. For its mostly foreign workforce, it can be a daunting gig. Something acknowledged by its manager, Lee Beaton, who shared the story of one Italian worker's first day. "She said, 'It's isolated. There's no shops. Where can I buy things? Where can I get coffee?' "And she ended up staying for 14 months and just loved it." The roadhouse's 22 foreign staff enable it to stay open 16 hours a day, keeping valuable trucks and road trains on the move. Auski has the only fuel between Newman and Port Hedland, a stretch of road linking some of the country's most valuable iron ore mines with its largest export terminal. Vietnamese-born cashier and barista Han Nguyen described her first summer at the roadhouse as like entering an inferno. "It's hot like hell," she said. Like many of her peers, working here wasn't a dream, but a necessity. Ms Nguyen was living in Sydney on a one-year working holiday visa, and was keen to stay in the country longer. That meant working somewhere remote to help the federal government's efforts to address labour shortages. "So I just posted on a Facebook group chat that I was looking for a job," she said. "And the HR manager [for the roadhouse] saw my post and contacted me." Five months on, the 32-year-old, dubbed "Han Superdry" by the Australian staff, said she had no regrets. "I take it as a moment for me to reflect and go back to myself," she said. "I need some time to think further for my plan." For others, the predictable patterns of roadhouse life were a blessing and a curse. "Every day is kind of the same and not much changes," Slovakian receptionist Katarina Virgovicova said. "It forces you to confront things because you have that time to yourself, I guess. Maybe too much time." Some of that time is spent reflecting on the lives of the truck drivers who pass through every day. "Sometimes I would compare the truck drivers to pirates," she said. "Like Pirates of the Caribbean. They're kind of travelling everywhere and they have no home. French cashier Celia Guzman was well aware there were more glamorous work options for travellers in Australia, having lived in Queensland and the Northern Territory. But the gig at Auski was a chance to earn more and burn less. "In Australia, you can earn a lot of money, but you can spend also a lot of money," Ms Guzman said. Staff at Auski pay only a modest weekly rent for their rooms and are provided with all their meals. "I think it's a good time for us to make money," Ms Guzman said. And at times, the 28-year-old saw being confined to the roadhouse as an escape from her responsibilities back home. "Now I have this time only for me and I don't have a choice to stay here. So [my attitude is] let's do it," she said. "I have no excuse to do everything I have to do, like thinking of my future or even something on my computer [that is stressful]." When asked whether she would recommend the roadhouse experience to others, Ms Virgovicova said it depended on one's appetite for adventure. "The environment is so special and so strange that you can't really compare this to anywhere else in the world. Maybe only somewhere like Antarctica," she said "If you want to experience something cool and something that not everyone does, then you should try it. Mr Beaton is just glad there are enough people game enough to try. "They do a wonderful job for us, a wonderful job," he said. "I'm very pleased to have them."

Fire destroys Kimberley campsite, 4WD vehicles and equipment
Fire has destroyed two four-wheel-drive vehicles and valuable camping equipment at a campsite in Western Australia's north. Three men, aged in their 70s, had set up camp at Uralla-Snake Creek, near Camballin, 2,400 kilometres north of Perth, in the Kimberley region last Thursday. The group was exploring the Fitzroy River for just two hours on Saturday when they returned to their creek-side campsite to find an apocalyptic scene. "We could see the smoke … black smoke, so we knew it was a vehicle. It was devastating," vehicle owner Gary Case said. Mr Case and his "best mates" have spent months on the road, camping and prospecting, since leaving northern New South Wales earlier this year. The 75-year-old said he visited family in Broome and the group were spending a long weekend at the idyllic freshwater creek system near Camballin when the disaster struck. Mr Case said there was no obvious cause of the fire since they had taken precautions with a small generator and ensured the campfire was cold before they headed off. "It could have been an electrical fault somewhere else in one of the trucks or something shorted out in a 12 volt," he said. "We just don't know. The fire left the experienced campers with just the clothes they were wearing and their phones. "I'm so relieved I had my dog with me. Losing her would have been worse than the troopy," Mr Case said. Mr Case, who lives in Carool, NSW, said the trio were taking the disaster in their stride because each of them had faced major health scares and personal losses in the past. "My mate's had open heart surgery. I've had issues — they said I actually died on the operating table, but I came back," he said. Without insurance and no way of getting home, online fundraisers have been set up to help the men. "I'm a bit embarrassed [by the donations] — I'm not that sort of person," Mr Case said.
