I'm sooooo glad my car finally has a heater....before last week, I was freezin' my butt off driving to work!!

we don't have surf anymore... just penguins slipping down the hills that used to be waves 👍

what are you people talking about. according to weatherzone.com.au
brisbane at the moment is 15.5, sydney 13.9, melbourne 12.0
hardly extreme differences... in fact its raining in all 3.

Actually I had ice on the window here in God's forsaken land of Warilla last week. First time my daughter had seen such a thing. She thought it was hilarious.

make it cold, make it cold, make it cold. snow trip in 4 weeks.

Melbourne does not have a climate, it has weather and sometimes you can get all 4 seasons in the same day.

Rita Heyworth who stared in the movie On the Beach which is about the end of civilisation because of an atomic war, said that Melbourne, where the book and film are set, was the best place in the world to make such a film.

lucky buggar, i never seem to get down there when the surf's good. you should have picked up a wetty back up home before you came down, i got a band new ultimate sealed seam 4x3 for $200 when i was near Brissy cos no-one needed them up there! down here their almost a necessity this time of year :o 😀
