History:

Falls Creek at 1,550 m is one of the largest alpine skiing areas of Australia, in 1957 the first chairlift of the country was built there. Beside Gully ski list at Mount Buller then also a ski jumping hill was constructed. On August 22, 1959 the Australian ski jumping championships were hosted on the hill at Mt. Buller. Winner was the Austrian immigrant Ernst Vettori sen. with a distance of 76 feet (23 m) on skiers, which he had borrowed only short time before from a spectator, because his own jumping skies had broken at a training jump only two days before.
