You're a bit out of date cobber! This is the warmest night in several days.
It has been down to 8 deg. when I've got up at 6 am.
I treated myself to a 'you beaut' thermostatically controlled electic blanket last winter so I laugh at the cold these days.
I just checked the thermometer and it only went up to 28 in Bris today.

[akaredarcher]

Really? It's absolutely bonechilling here in Adelaide tonight.

Sydney is cold right now, it's been like this for the last few days overnight. But the days have been warm enough in the mid 20's. Winter is coming.

I was on Moreton Island off the coast of Brisbane last month for a week and it was continually warm. Go QLD, beautiful one day...etc...etc...

[VeganJohn]

I didn't think Australia got cold.

[abrennan]

Yeah we even get snow in some places and people go skiing there.

In the south we get winter but in the north it's pretty tropical, Sydney kind of gets both, In tasmania, that's the little Island off the bottom it gets real cold. The snow mostly happens in the mountainous areas on the mainland.

You Northern Hemisphere folk would think it was warm though. I've been wearing a light coat in the morning to go to worlk but all the tourists are in T-shirts and shorts. A humerous disparity.

I am cold I hate winter GRRRRRRRRRRR

[abrennan]

Oh right Australia seasons are opposite to UK aren't they?

[Mystic]

Yep I am on the wrong side of the equator right now

[abrennan]

Oh right Australia seasons are opposite to UK aren't they?

They are Witchy, also Australia is very big and vary wide and there is a large variety of climates. We have snow capped mountains, deserts, rainforests, plains, and more. In one place it can be 3 or 5 degrees centigrade and at the same time it is 35 degrees centigrade somewhere else on the same day. Some of us are shivering and some of us are sweating. I try and do a bit of both.

At least you live in a great state Sticky

And Melbourne gets (breaks into song) Four seasons in one day.

Hello Geoff hows the furry creatures?

I was in Melbourne in October last year and it's true every season occured over 24 hrs. It was cold then it rained then the sun came out and it was warm then it rained and then it got cold again.

They have dozens of great Vegan restaurants there, I am jealous.

[Geoff]

Antony - I'm not talking to you, you miserable bugger! You went to Moreton and didn't even drop in to say hallo to me and Martin (who is going well and reached 700 grams on the weekend)

[abrennan]

It was a flying visit

I have really sore arms now I'm back

I'll be back at Xmas let's do lunch

[mophoto]

i am always jealous of you people when i am freezing in the winter time and you talk of gardening

[Geoff]

I'll be back at Xmas let's do lunch

Enough with the Americanisms already! In Australia you can freeze your tits, arse or nuts off but not, repeat, not, your butt.

[abrennan]

Yeah butts in Australia are on the end of cigarettes and they should be banned, no matter what the weather

I wouldn't mind a cuddle though we have them here

[Jacqui]

5 - 12 degrees in Hobart today.
Freezin my arse off.
Was in Brisbane for a few days last week, wearing t-shirts everyday, then came home to snow on the mountain. bbbbrrrrr

Welcome back Antony!

[Geoff]

Not only did I miss Antony, but I also missed Jacqui in a t-shirt.

[abrennan]

Hello Jaqui

sorry about the cold, I'll see what I can do about it.

hope you're keeping well

Funny how Australians seem as obsessed about the weather as Brits.

[Geoff]

Only those in southern Australia!

[Bluey]

Well our weather can be a bit dramatic

[abrennan]

I thinbk melbourne is great, it is clearly the hub of veganity on Australia, those vegan restaurants, I'm still dreaming about them.

[treehugga]

Good ta see ya back Ant .

Freezing in Bendigo, Victoria. About 9 degrees today and we have no firewood brrrrrrrr .

I do prefer it to the horrible humidity we had in the summer and the threat of fire though!

[abrennan]

Yay Treehugga

It's cold like 7 degrees in the am in Sydney but it warms up (so far) into the 22s and 23s c's

[insubordination]

It's weird but I enjoy the cold and have a lot more energy now than in the summer. I am also a lot more productive. I particularly love the cold nights but the 'autumn/winter sun' in the day time. Today is perfect!

ETA: live in Blue Mountains NSW

My brother in law and his family live in Gosford, near Sydney I think. I went there once but there were man eating spiders so Ive vowed never to return until the spiders turn vegan.

[abrennan]

Gosford is a couple of hours drive from Sydney, I havent seen the spiders, is it the white tipped ones that make your flesh rot?

[veganblue]

Gosford is a coupla hours drive from Sydney, I havent seen the spiders. Is it the white tipped ones that make your flesh rot?

I know it's off topic but there is some interesting material about white tailed spiders here.

Just treat them all as poisonous and try not to get bitten while ushering them to a more suitable location.

Sydney has funnel web spiders - which are truly worth respecting and taking precautions since they like similiar conditions that humans do - especially in Sydney.

Friend who lived in Sydney heard one rumbling it's way across the floor boards in the middle of the night - they are a chunky spider.

It's quite cold in Adelaide tonight.

[abrennan]

BBrrrrrr

[Geoff]

It's 35 degrees in Brisbane and I've just been outside doing some naked full moon bathing.

[abrennan]

did you see any white tipped spiders

[Geoff]

Lots, and I'm going to collect them and mail them to Tabitha!

BTW - they're white tailed spiders! You really must pay more attention Tony.

[abrennan]

lucky you're around to correct us cliff

[Mystic]

Thats it. I am moving up North. I am sick of this shitty weather

[Bluey]

I like melbourne weather!
Don't mind the drizzle...

[treehugga]

I love Victoria's weather we get hot, cold, snow, beautiful autumn leaves and today is a georgous balmy 20 degrees. Who could ask for more? And not much revolting humidity. I love spiders they won't harm you much unless you have an allergy to them, then the rot will set in. We have them bigger than a hand and stripey, cute and furrey. I am not fond of the bull ants though.

[abrennan]

I love australia

[tabitha]

My husband wants to move to Brisbane. "Bye" I said. I like England *sits tight*

[abrennan]

you should come to visit and see for yourself
