It,s not to bad steve ,it happens every year nov, - march .is when every body moves in Oz, teachers ,military, police , end of year, company relocations , we make our money over this period , the best thing is that the 13th hour is "beer-o,clock"......... MM

I lived in South Africa for 4 years and the climate is pretty much the same. Gets dark pretty quickly, stays warm for ages, the odd electrical storm and can all be best viewed sitting outside watching the day end.

mr mover

yeah ,steve spent 3mths travelling around STH Africa,beautiful country ,loved Kruger nat Park ,stayed with an aunt who lived in Benoni, JO-BURG,,, the best storms you will ever see, when you travel north from Adelaide to Darwin. just south of Mattaranka,in what is the edge of the Troppo Zone , you see these Clouds called thunder heads , towering thousands of feet in the air , the lightening just fires up and down these clouds ,set your camera ,on low speed, you get some amazing shots .........

Small world, eh? I've also got an aunt in Benoni! Kruger National Park is good, I worked there for three months. Nothing better than watching an electrical storm on a warm night.

ADELAIDE BOUND

You two are not related by any chance are you?

Cheers.

I wondered that just before I typed it. If so, I'm sure I can get in quicker on a family migration visa or something!

Oh yes, but I've lived next to the sea for a few years now and I'm desensitised to it. I can't smell salt air either, but I can feel the sand in my toes
