Snowmen were built in the powder in the national park, while others took it slow on the slushy roads in Hanging Rock.

Narrabri Region Visitor Information Centre posted photos taken by the Dale family, from Kingscliff, who were supposed to be enjoying the warmth of the Northern Territory, but instead ended up camping overnight in the Narrabri region and woke to find a fresh blanket of snow.

Meanwhile, Tamworth Regional Weather's Dave Farrenden took to the dirt roads of Hanging Rock for the small amount of snow that had fallen, carefully taking on the slippery dirt roads.

Mr Farrenden said the wet conditions meant any visitors would need a four-wheel-drive and would need to drive really slow.

"They had quite a bit of rain up there the past week; some areas have seen 30-40mm and some have seen more, so it was already wet and when the polar air came up it turned to just slush and mud," he told Australian Community Media.

"Barry Road was really chewed up and mushy, and Forest Way ... was chewed up, too."

But we might not see anymore snow for a little while.

"There are low-pressure systems that spin around the arctic regions, and in this case one broke off and headed north and that's why we saw snow all the way to the north whereas usually it stays around the snowy alps," Mr Farrenden said.

"The alps are always getting snow over winter so we'll probably see more snow events but ... there won't be anymore this week. There's nothing showing up for our region."
