don't know how you are all going weather wise, but it's been 32/34 centigrade here on gold coast last few weeks, all getting a bit weary,
on the other hand seeing the nightly news on america weather, it's sad. i'm going to melbourne on 6 feb and tasmania with fires blazing for a month on 18 feb. so theres a large spread of weather??
good luck tom

Tom,

We are still in the doldrums, rain & more rain, the occasional fine day to fool us into thinking Winter is past. Temperatures are not bad 12/14 degrees so heating is not a problem. Daffodil & other bulbs showing above ground about 6inches & snowdrops & grape hyacinths in bloom. Hope frost does not come later to spoil them.

Good luck in your travels & keep safe. Pat

Tom, you're a lucky man. Have a great time on your travels and come back safely to us.
