I can count on one hand the amount of rain we have had in perth in the last 6months. :) (not a good thing btw)

The strange thing is, perth actually gets more rain over the year than manchester, can you believe that. :rofl:

Thing is here we get all our rain in pretty much 3 months of the year jun july aug.

you mean in winter? same here really, it really is not the wet hole many people think. Tasmania has been suffering a drought for the last couple of years and we have had some terrible bushfires.

earlier on it threw it down now its blue sky and sunshine, its unpredictable :)

MELBOURNE has shivered through its coldest April morning in over 50 years, with temperatures dropping below freezing in some suburbs.

........

Melbourne set another record yesterday when it recorded four days in a row below 15C for the first time since 1949.

First time in 4 years or so in Melbourne I have had to de-ice the windscreen with warm water. What we have got a few times a year is that slush which the windscreen wipers can deal with.

In the Uk the warm water routine was often daily.

It was only in winter! I can't actually for the life of me remember how long it went on for. But certainly more than once in 4 years.....There are lots of memories like that fading fast...

Was down your neck of the woods over the weekend... Stayed in Goulburn Friday and Sunday night and Braidwood on Saturday night... The more I see of the area the more I'd like to live there... weird when most would see Sydney's Northern Beaches as somewhere never to leave...!
