Come down south and find out what it's like when it doesn't register plus figures during the day...

I agree the wind though, that is what gets you.
I'm not really happy over 25C, so I'll take the cold. Today it was 24C in the middle of summer here in the mountains but I was floating in a kayak on 5C water today, so it was very refreshing.
My next trip to Australia I'm trying to decide which month to go, it will be sometime between May-Sept with early October at the latest.
How people do it in the northern climes in Australia in the tropics, I have no idea, it would drive me crazy.
