Central Heating in Queensland, just a thought..
Hi,
It's getting b***** freezing here in Tayside lately but that doesn't stop us wandering around the house in shorts and tshirt while the good old central heating's cranked up full blast!! When we validated it was winter and got rather chilly at nights, Sydney required bedclothes!!!!! Has anyone heard of having central heating installed or is there an equivalent out there? Cheers Ginny :rolleyes: |

Cheers Ginny :rolleyes: A lot of people have wood burning fires for the colder nights in the southeast more for novelty than warmth.The only really cold part is around Stanthorpe/Warwick which is high up. The climate is very different in Qld compared to Scotland.I find the cold a welcome relief and a chance to wear some different clothes.Queenslanders really don't know the meaning of cold and may have never seen snow before. |

There are quite a few houses in the western suburbs that have open fires (more for toasting marshmallows and show). WW |
