Hi ispom

Yes. It's great to fire up the BBQ

Although we're a long way from the last of the season. Was 20 degrees Celsius today.

Heck, I've even been known to singe a few snags in the middle of winter if the spirit grabs me

Our winters are not nearly as severe as northern European winters

Generally stable winters are us mostly except from cold snaps and snow. Just keep the BBQ up to keep you warm in winter!

Ispom, we don't really need much of an excuse to burn a few sausages.

Well matt,

but what do the Hobart people in winter
or truly that in New Zealand?

of course, Ron,
but now I enjoy the spring first,
we have three spring months,
may is the last,
the oak tree is complete without leaf still,
at the end of May it also will be green,
than begins the summer!

Hi Ispom, summer or winter it doesnt matter to me, any time is a good time for a BBQ. You just swap the Arkubra for a Beanie.

Cheers

You could demineralize seawater and pump into the steppe and deserts.
At the latest when there is nuclear fusion energy
for that purpose, the whole Australia will blossom, independent by weather.

unfortunately, it will take a few decades yet
