    Electric blanket and Doona have officially been taken out over the last week

    https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/we...rths-coldest-night-of-the-year-ng-b881532826z

    28th April

    Tonight is tipped to be Perth’s coldest night of the year, with the mercury expected to drop to just 6C.

    A cold front moved across the south of WA last night, which is tipped to settle over the metro this evening.

    Teamed with clear skies the Bureau of Meteorology has tipped the cold front to push temperatures down to 6C in Perth and as low as 2C in Collie.

    Meanwhile up in the North of WA my parents said they had 38 degrees at its peak with 25 degrees overnight (I set my air-conditioning at 24)

    And now its spring, and Sydney city will be 29°C today, and the suburbs 30°C.

    I do like the extra daylight we are having.

    Don't need it to get any warmer.

    While it's supposed to reach a high of 19 in Canberra, just about the warmest it's been in months.

    Which is why we want to move out of Canberra.

    Admit I had to google where is Karumba? Thought I have a reasonable idea on most places (at least roughly) but I had never heard of it.
    How did you end up there?

    I headed up last year from Yamba and thought I would do the same again this year. Crossed over the border back on the 10th of July (when we were allowed to). Towed the boat up, and will be staying through till early November.
    I have put some photos up in the media section of my boat, fish and vehicle set up.:)
