Winter's nearly here.

It was a cool day in Yamba today and also yesterday, with temperatures down to about 24 maximum.....maybe a degree lower. Clear skies and bright sunshine, however.

But down in Tasmania (and Victoria) it was a different world; winter arrived with a blizzard in the Victorian alps and in Tassie it was just as bleak.
This photo - sent to my sister by a friend in Hobart - could be from somewhere in Europe rather than Mount Wellington, behind the city.
The building is the iconic Cascade brewery - the original structure.
A lovely photo, what with the snow dusting the mountains and the old building bathed in sunlight.

  1. Bet you're glad you made the move up north now, Bruce. We've been struggling to get above the mid-20s here for several days because of the ruddy Jetstream dragging cool air from the north but we're hoping to get into the 30s next week. Summer's taking a long time coming!

  2. We had a very wet & sticky summer, Roger.
    The cooler weather we're experiencing now that Autumn is here is very welcome....but it certainly isn't as cold as Hobart nor Canberra!
