Bring your winter woolies!!!!
 

MINUS THREE DEGREES CENTIGRADE in the middle of Sydney this morning (Smithfield). Definitely "Bad weather for brass monkeys" weather! :scared:

The other thing to remember is that you will acclimatise when you come out - after about 12 months you'll feel the cold even more than you do in the UK.

Bring ALL your cold / wet weather clothing. You have been warned! :D

BTW, that -3oC was at 07:30 this morning - the sun had been up for quite a while....

I arrived in Sydney about a month ago - wish I'd packed some warmer clothes in my suitcases instead of in with the stuff waiting to be shipped out! Bugger.

Welcome to sunny Sydney (and the forum!) :D

Bloody taters, innit? :D

Re: Bring your winter woolies!!!!
 

after suffering -20 a few years ago in the uk. -3 is not so bad. but your right, bring some jumpers and jackets. oh and the quilts here are crap !!!!! if u can bring your own, DO !!!!!
the kids did moan about the cold last night, i didnt notice it.:)

Thanks a lot - (bit parky at night!) Even had to go out and buy a gas heater for my flat!

Any reccomendations for drinking places in Sydney? Just looking for somewhere to go to escape the horrors of Aussie TV...:D

where in sydney are u?

I'm in Kirribilli. Stand in front of the Opera House, look across the water, and there's my flat!

ah so thats your house. i see u havnt bothered to decorate since u got here :D :D
any RSL club is a good place to get a drink and easy to meet peeps too.:)

Cheers - 'scuse my terrible ignorance, but what is an RSL club?
Do you need to sign up as a member, or can you just wander in for a drink?

its like a working mans club. u can join anytime just cost u about 8-11 bucks for the year. just do a search on google for one in your area.:beer:

Originally Returned Servicemen's League clubs. (Digger's Clubs).

Stay away from the pokies (poker machines). They're addictive! :D

Thanks soapy - much appreciated. :)

some clubs have gyms, pools, fishing and golfing too. its a great way to meet. there might be better ones in your area.
downunderpom is right stay away from the machines. but theres loads more to do. the food is great and dead cheap too.

Thanks all - I'll go and check out the Kirribilli one this evening.
