Hi,

Somebody posted a photo ages ago showing a "brisbane" sign with loads of snow on it. I think it was Brisbane canada - it doesn't snow in oz Brissie.

However, I wanted to wind some people up back home and wondered if anybody could find it....I've searched but not come up with anything

thanks

Perhaps it was taken in "Ice world". A couple of years back they had something called "ice world" down at the GC. One of the blokes in work here took his children to it.. he went dressed only in shorts and thongs.. and said he was bl**dy freezing.. I had to laugh, of course it's cold it's ice and snow !!! He had to borrow a big coat and such from the vendors. Anyway, if it's a real pic perhaps that's where it was taken.

ahh.. do you know someone told me in work that they did have snow many years ago here in Brisbane.. I thought he was winding me up... or lying.

so it's true!

I find it's funny in it's in the "disaster database" though.. you can just imagine people getting worked up at seeing this odd white stuff..
