Re: A four year mistake

Re: Advice on UK to Tasmania move

Re: Advice on UK to Tasmania move

Re: Advice on UK to Tasmania move

I don't doubt Hobart can get icy cold winds but believe it or not there is quite a big distance between Hobart and Antarctica and it is much greater than between London and the Arctic. Cold wind or...

Re: Advice on UK to Tasmania move

So if you don't agree with the points of my data are you claiming that Hobart has a climate that is similar to Ireland and the UK? As the point i was making is that Hobart is significantly better in...

Re: Advice on UK to Tasmania move

I think you misunderstood my post. I'm claiming even here in Perth we can get a bitterly cold wind from the south. Even mediterranean climates can get cold winds in winter and as I said we have even...
