Re: Does it ever get cold in Oz?
I've been in the UK over the last 2 xmases....and in both of them had a hell of a lot of sunny weather....freezing cold, but sunny.
Pics I took on the way to the airport last week - sky was like this a lot of the time I was there...

We were Darling Harbour (Sydney) a couple of summers ago (August 2007) it was 2 degrees on a clear sparkling day & with the very fresh breeze blowing off the water, felt absolutely freezing

Re: Does it ever get cold in Oz?
I do? You mean I made one comment about it being depressing that you don't see the sun for the entire day and then the sun goes down. I don't think that is 'banging on' at all. It's hilarious, I make one comment about something that I found hard to cope with in the UK but yet so many of you have essay long posts about all the things you hate about Australia!

Lack of sunlight can make people depressed
Nearly half the population find the onset of winter gets them down, says a survey.

SAD is also known as winter depression. SAD is less common in countries that receive a lot of sunlight, such as Australia.

And a lot of people feel the same way here in July and August when it rains every day. SAD is not only a UK thing.
