I've just spent my 1st winter in Adelaide (Moved here as i was offered a job which included relocation) and i am already planning my move to Brissie.
Don't be fooled by the 'Adelaide has a med climate' crap - I never thought i would need to scrape ice off my car windscreen in a med climate .
If you want warm weather go to Brissie.

But it has been an exceptionally cold winter.

I've been in Melbourne 5 years and this is the first time I have had (just the once) almost ice on my windowscreen...it melted before I left my driveway!!!

Adelaide Weather History: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/ID...2.latest.shtml

Melbourne Weather History: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/ID...0.latest.shtml

Brisbane Weather History: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/ID...9.latest.shtml

Each of those links can show the last 13 months weather statistics, so it makes for good comparison facility

Can't remember the exact place, but about 100k's west of Brisbane the wife and I encountered a massive hording sign saying "thank god your mother did not have you aborted".

toowoomba!

i drive past the bible signs on the way to woomby at least once a fortnight. it stretches probably from hattonvale.

my girlfriend is finding it hard living in toowoomba, where everyone goes to church group at the weekend, or has two heads.

I'll never forget those huge billboards - there was a run of them near Gatton -
First "Repent and be saved"

Second "God hates sinners"

Third "God is Love"

Fourth "Lettuce 9 cents"

I kid you not!!!!!
