Brrrrr!

After a week in tropical Rockhampton and Yeppoon, we drove home yesterday to chilly Narrabri.

It wasn't really that warm up north, as everyone was complaining about the cold. In our meetings in Yeppoon we had the air conditioners running as the room was getting too warm for some. Margaret and I found ourselves sitting right in front of the AC so we found ourselves grabbing our jumpers.

So today in Narrabri, just 10 hours drive from tropical Rocky, we've had a severe frost and our hot water pipe froze for the first time this year. :( The minimum this morning was -2 but it's now a brisk 7 degrees (C). The hot water is running again, so I think I'll go off and have a nice warm shower.

Australia is certainly a land of contrasts and variety! Usually all at the same time.

  1. They say that about Melbourne weather also!In Melbourne, if you don't like the weather you just have to wait a while because it's sure to change.It's turning into a beautiful, though cool, day. No clouds. No wind.

  2. From air conditioning to frozen pipes! Sounds like Canadian weather. We used to joke that in Canada you could have all four seasons in a matter of hours!

  4. It's a little warmer today, and the pipe didn't freeze. The good news is that there may be some cloud coming over which will keep the heat in over night.
