Yep. That's what they say. ;D

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

I went to Geraldton in March 1983 and the first four days I was there, it was over 40 degrees C. The hottest day was 46, the lowest was 42. Luckily I had my wetsuit and spear gun with me. I spent as much time as possible in the water spearfishing and trying to cool down. :D

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.

Very sorry to hear that.
