Whoever thinks it does not get cold in Australia has not spent time in this southern half. Tasmania and Victoria can be freezing and whilst Perth does not often compare, we too can have some wild wintry weather.

The past four days have been both wet, windy and very cool for this generally considered mild temperate climate. Temperatures have hovered between 5oC to around 16oC with the wind chill making it seem quite a bit cooler.

Those of you who live in much cooler climes may snear at we wimpy Aussies who run for the leather boots and sheepskins as soon as temperatures drop below 15oC, but remember our blood is much thinner to help us cope with summer temps that climb to the high 30s and low 40s with increasing frequency. Even my dog sleeps in front of the fire in an effort to keep himself at temperatures he is more used to.
