Winter has just rolled in. Which whilst it summons an end to alacarte dining, martinis at The Onyx Bar and involves my middle class, city-loving, pinko-student heart feeling obliged to donate money to The Red Cross as the lastest mix of yokels and black people are swept away in regional flooding, there is some good news.

The Winter Season is here. Winter fashion is always fun. Layers and tailoyered jackets hide the fact I haven't been working out all summer. Drinks shared around a fire with friends and lovely summer-toned girls.

Plus, as yard parties yeild way for casual dinners and pot is replaced with obscene amounts of vodka, Brisbane and my new house are ready to shine.

Kiss sweaty balls goodbye and herald in the biggest season for student parties the Western Suburbs will care to suffer.

Winter, hear I come!

Does it ever snow down in Australia? I ask because we're coming down there for 3 weeks in August.

You Aussies have everything backward. It must be because you are upside down the blood rushes to your head. It is suposed to be the start of summer. :p

Not since the end of The Ice Age. We complain when it drops bellow 68`F

I think it's because The National Drugs Institute claims half of us -over 18- are stoned

So it's warm enough for going to the beach all year round then?

You know, it sure *seems* like you did that Lent thing after all. Would explain your enthusiasm a bit better.

The Americans and Poms I know, think so.

Where are you going?

We're coming down for 3 whole weeks, so my guess is the whole continent, from sydney, to deserts, to jungles. the whole shebang, I think.

You're going to cover the whole thing in 3 weeks? That's pretty impressive.

I don't think you'll be going to the beach in Melbourne, in August it's only about 14-20C during the day.

Queensland is great in winter. But I hope you meant rainforrests, otherwise your travel agent is telling some whoppers

Maybe not the WHOLE thing, but we'll see what happens.

Yeah. Like there are spaces under my couch, not even I have seen

Well, make sure you make it down to Melbourne, cos it's a pretty cool city. The Great Ocean Rd (http://www.greatoceanrd.org.au/)along the south-west coastline & Wilson's Promontory (http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=217)are well worth a visit too. It does snow in the Alpine National Park (http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=41)in northern Victoria & southern NSW.

I've been to Brisbane a few times. I like it well enough, but I don't want to move there.

We don't want you. Not for any mean reason. It's just the property market is tight enough as it is

Don't worry, I can't afford to buy a house anyway. :p

OK, whats with the interest in little girls? I looked for a mention of it, but you only say it in the thread name...Storms, Cold & Tiny Girls< I would be keeping that quiet if I was you...:eek:

I often do that. I write something, remove it -because I forget how to spell a word, and realise a synonym won't have the same effect. That's what I think happened here.

I had a sentence about curling up with summer-toned girls infront of the fire, or soemthing

Somehow I dont think we would have to worry ... I am betting it is shorts weather even in "winter" lol

Wow. And here I was being very happy today because it was 55 F with only a slight wind.
