No family just me and my wife. We moved here due to it being so similar to the UK without the CRIME and it is a temperate climate. They drive on the left as well and I pay no tax yippeeeee. Cheap to live as well. Good social life. Hmm whats not to like.

Interesting, I figured you were somehow connected to the place (in which case I would not have commented any further) as my experience was rather different - though maybe it was because I was constantly comparing it to Malta which seemed so much more like my type of place.

Anyway, great to hear that you are happy - that's what it's all about!

Sydney told to expect 41C on Friday as NSW national parks closed due to fire risk

A heatwave in NSW is expected to push temperatures in Sydney to 41 degrees Celsius on Friday, with 30 national parks across the state's south being closed due to an increased fire risk.

Even hotter conditions are expected in inland areas, with the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) saying heatwave conditions were being caused by an approaching front and a slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea.

The conditions are drawing dry and increasingly hot air from central Australia into NSW, the BoM said.

BoM severe weather manager Michael Logan said temperatures were forecast to reach the low 40s across inland NSW and some coastal areas, including Sydney, tomorrow.

"The forecast for Sydney has now been updated to 41C for Friday," he said.

A lovely 30C in Surfers Paradise.

Yeah, kind of bad timing with Melbourne... 18C... yikes.

What's up with Sydney? My iPhone is showing 43C right now, is that for real?
