The dry summers here in West Australia are superb, definately more comfortable than Queensland summers that's for sure.

Yep, I loathe summer, loving the autumn and early spring the most. But heck, I get far more farm fencing and other construction jobs done in Winter! Then again, I am a POM…

Agree, summer to astronomers doesn't start til 21 Dec. But yes the current "season" is garbage. Might do a bonfire on the 21st to drive spring out (So long ol' sucker, thanks for nothing).

I have never been much of a fan of summer, particularly when I was in the RAAF up at Williamtown. A string of 35+ days with humidity that left any exposed skin feeling tacky and damp after a walk at 9PM was not for me.
Then we had a bushfire run over our place 6 years ago, you can keep the summer thanks. For me now the smell of eucalyptus smoke in the summer makes me shudder! I am always glad when the fire season is done.
I am pretty conflicted this year, La Nina has kept me from more than a handful of imaging nights but reduces the fire risk a lot.

Very similar to a place where I grew up.

You could refer to me as My Liege Lord or something similar; sounds a bit more up market.

With such red soil, I’d say he was born on the left.
