I went to the Snowies recently with the Aust Plant Society. Here are some pics from varying altitudes:

the alpine area above 1900m. Being treeless, it probably won't be a big hit in this forum

rehab works at Rawson Pass (2100m)
Our ski lodge at Charlotte Pass. Being experts in the field, it didn't take us long to find our first snow gum.

the western fall of the main range plunges from 2200m to 400m
wet montane forest at 900m: the western side of the range is wetter, allowing the growth of Dicksonia antarctica
