Soundman,

I was recently told the following "joke".

Why do Queenslanders turn up the sides on their Akubras? So three of them can sit side by side in the back of ute and still wear their hats.

Is this true or is it some disillusioned mexican jealous of what your state offers?

Wood Borer,

It is advisable to wear your Hat in Queensland as it is nice and sunny nearly all the time. We do have a spot of rain at the moment, so a Hat is also handy. As for the joke, it is definitely jealousy.

BTW: Its a bit cold up here at the moment. Current Brissy forcast from the Weather Dept.

They are usually out a bit (surprise) and it hardly ever gets DOWN to their predicted temp

Shane,

It was 16 on the thermometer WHICH is located outside my toy shop in the wind!

On a couple of days off and up at my second home up the other side of omeo.
3 degrees at the moment, and its not winter yet. Three hours ago it was -3, before the sun came up over the mountains. The deer are in rut, the bush is coming green after the fires and the grass is starting to grow again - wouldn't be anywhere else for quids. Victoria rules (if only that was still the case with the footy).

AHHH! winter doncha just love it,was here a minute ago and power spike cut me off ...didn't affect 'Er Indoors watchin' New's on TV.
I reckon it's a ploy to get you dialing up again and another fee charged !

In the West we're presently 16 degrees down from 18 cool even for this time of the year in a mediterranean type climate...do'nt know why 'Er Indoors is all fired to get back to Q'land what with all the lifestyle garnered here over the past 30 odd years.
Horses for courses I guess!
Stay cool ....but keep warm
Cheers

All this "bragging" about Qld/WA temperatures presupposes that we all like that weather. Well, I for one, do not. I would not live in WA or Qld for anything. Give me Melbourne autumns & winters any day. It does not really get that cold here, and it is infinitely better than the humidity of Qld.

6 degrees Celsius is what I call a nice morning.

The thingabout Melbourne is that you not only get autumns and winters any day - you get winter, autumn, spring and summer every day

Try Darwin at the moment...Mid 30's (was 34 when I left) with relatively high humidity....And they call that the middle of winter.....They can keep it, I just dred the day work sends me up there in the middle of summer!! :eek:

NSW now leading QLD by one vote !!!!!

the problem is of course that real estate prices on NSW mean we are too busy trying not to lose our houses to the fargen banks... oh, and of course respond to silly mexican polls.

if the south is soo good why are we up to out arm pits in refugees from the cold.
Id be interested to poll a few retirement villages.

At least we have more time to glue our joints before the glue sets. (If of course we can stop shivering for long enough to take the top off the glue bottle)

We look forward to you visiting us when it gets hot in Melbourne and you blokes are being blown around a bit by Cyclones.

Perhaps you could bottle some of your Cyclones and sell them to us for dust collection in our sheds. You could use the empty stubbies with the four kisses on the label!
