Thanks! I can manage heat very well, thank you, but cold, now that is another story. If at all I have to work in Australia, it will be to keep myself warm
I found Melbourne freezing and this was in October - supposedly Spring! But then I wasn't exactly dressed in the right attire (I was imagining full sleeved cotton t-shirts would make me sweat!!
I ended up wearing most of my clothes at the same time besides keeping the heater on all the time! IG

Just had a terrific idea to stay warm - will send you some red hot 'authentic' indian receipes from my grandma. You'll probably need the aircon after eating that though
Anyone else want's to keep warm, my way, just let me know
Forget ducted and doonas and what not.IG

Thanks JAJ. Yes, we will be applying as soon as our current visa expires, and reapply in Aug this year.
