Unlike Cappy, who must live closer to, or in, the tropics, it does occasionally drop below 0 degrees C in winter where I live. We get snow about once every 3 years. Most Aussies say that where I live, is the coldest place in Australia. :o

Ballarat Mark?
That's the coldest place in the world ! (*Shivers at the thought)  :)

I'm in the Nthn wheatbelt in WA Mark, roughly 300km N/E of Perth.
If you take Perth's temps and add +10°C that's what we get.
It rained yesterday, nearly 2 inches, first rains since Nov last year.  :o

Cold weather is a problem in Australia, because we don't get much of it ice becomes very problematic. I lost a very good friend when his Jetrangers intake iced up and consequently flamed out his engine.
All 3 onboard were lost.
