Rather have unpredictable Melbourne anyday. Not as many spiders & cockies & a great bunch of Ex Pats down here. Now I'm off to my nice warm bed. ;)

Brisbane (well our bit of it !) got down to 6 degrees last night!!! Rather nice after all that heat:D

The wife advises to stock up on jumpers in Britain before coming over here. Apparently cashmere is cheaper in the UK.
I have my overcoat ready for the Blue Mountains tomorrow. |
Originally posted by Ulujain One of the reasons I like Brisbane is that the weather is fairly predictable year ound. I like Mellies weather on the whole, its chilly now, but in another hour will be 20 ish and the sky is sunny and blue, not bad for the tail end of autumn. Ps Boardy, you're right about them expats mate, wheres me VB???:p :D |
Cold here too in Perth. 4 degrees. Wore a big thick woolly jumper here all day yesterday, looks as though I will be doing the same again today, even though the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Do you know what's really weird though....in the UK if it was 2 degrees I'd be scraping the ice off the car window and the grass would be really white and thick with frost, whereas this morning it still felt like 2 degrees but there was only a very light frost on the grass, and this was only on the really open areas, but there was no ice on the cars, just alot of condensation...strange hey?:confused:

Yep... feels freezing here in Perth too!!!
Wrapped up with blankets on us and two quilts at night. No heating as we've sold the blow heater in preparation for our return.:rolleyes: Far easier to keep warm than it is to cool down though. I think we're feeling the cold much more this time around than last year!!!!:( |

Ps Boardy, you're right about them expats mate, wheres me VB???:p :D Your VB on the way as soon as we have our night Ex Pats meet or next time your in FTG. I was supposed to be in Berwick tonight at Mrs Bordys friends house, she has one of those 106cm Rear projection screen Tvs, perfect for watching the Footy. Unfortunetly Mrs B has been called into work. |

Originally posted by anya4oz Phew - what a relief! I thought I was being a girly wimp to be feeling so cold here, but if the hardy Scotsman is cold, then it really *IS* cold :) Not kilt weather then, eh Bordy? :) Anya (sitting hunched up next to heater - brrrrrrr.....) Believe it or not Anya The kilt is very warm, must be all that wool. I love wearing the kilt ( except in very windy weather ) |
It is chilly at night but during the day it is lovely. Mr Booboo and myself were sunning in the back yard and today is even warmer. Season wise it is equivalent to November in the UK, so all in all not too bad if you ask me!!!:D

Hi there,
I noticed on your thread that you mentioned an expat night. Is that just for people in Melbourne or do they have them in other states. We have been here on the Gold Coast since last July, and would love to get together with other expats. Any info would be much appreciated. cheers Rob an Louisa :) |
