We are at the Gold Coast, currently around 12 degrees. Had beautiful days though. Having said that its about 23 degrees in the camper. These diesel heaters are great!

The weather here this winter, has been nothing short of spectacular. I can't remember when we last had rain. Although we really do need some.

Just returned from Mudgee nighttime temps ranged from -3.6 to -4.8.

Nothing a couple of bottles of red wine or port can't help with. Wife and the 5 & 7 year old all good and no complaints, a bit crunchy on the canvas when packing up on the last morning though.

I'm currently in Caloundra in Queensland and must say I love the winter here! I was out in the sun enjoying a stroll on the beach this morning thinking this is better than home that's for sure!

Friday is looking good here - Thursday night/Friday morning down to 2 and Friday a top of 5. I'll just push the fridge out the door and turn it off for the day!

Last week minus two just north of Licola. As the fridge was set to two degrees my daughter and I opened the lid and cleverly stood over it warming our hands....

was 3.6 degrees at 5.30 a.m at my place this morning here on the Southside of Brisbane, yesterday felt colder I reckon with the breeze howling about the place. Was about 17 degrees inside the house though, as I've had the fireplace going all night...lol

Just realised these were mainly 2014 posts....

Heading to Killarney this weekend to shakedown the new Ozent and BW self inflating mattresses.  Supposed to be a frost.  Might let the dogs in bed with us to keep us warm.

man its a beautiful place but GEE IT GETS COLD!!! not sure if I have ever been there in winter (as in deep winter - my home town of Newcastle was cold enough) but that north easterly comes right through from the bay - last time we were coming back to lemon tree from Karuah we were down to seven knots and watching the gps all the way cause we couldn't see through the windscreen

still - I would happily sit down to breakfast at The Point tomorrow morning...
