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!
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.

Do you need to sign up as a member, or can you just wander in for a drink?

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