Watch: Australians play in snowy winter wonderland

Australians made snowmen and enjoyed snowball fights after parts of New South Wales were blanketed with heavy snow over the weekend.

Officials said around 200 vehicles became stranded when areas of the state received the heaviest snowfall in 20 years.

"I've never seen snow before in my entire life," said Brendan Gough, who travelled from Queensland to catch a glimpse of the rare sight.
