I'll add my vote for the freezer suits. I live between Canberra and Young. I bought the freezer suit in 2014 in preparation for an Arctic expedition to observe a solar eclipse.
I also bought a pair of NEOS Explorer Overshoes. We observed the eclipse at -23C and I was perfectly warm. I also spent 6 hrs out at -16C observing a big auroral storm on Kvaloya, just south of the Arctic Circle in northern Norway.
Back home, I fell asleep one night in a comfortable camp chair at -8C wearing the suit. I woke 2 hrs later, covered in frost, perfectly warm in the suit. When the temp is around zero, I usually have to leave the suit unzipped or alternate between unzipped and zipped up.
I've never felt the need to wear the Explorer shoes in Australia. Maybe I will if someday, I do a nightscape shoot in the snowy mountains in winter.
