Leigh,
Contrary to Australian folk lore, Canberra weather is only really cold
by Australian standards for about 8 to 10 weeks of the year, the remainder
of the time, it is great - not to hot, cold or humid, and none of those
destructive storms we see in what has become the retirement meka for many
Australians, SE Qld.
The 8 to 10 weeks when it can be cold is also the time we get our wave.
Two weeks ago I had a wonderful flight of 3 hours up to 21,000ft, I could
see the Tasman Sea and the NSW snow fields at the same time, and where else
could I do that?

Hey Stuart,
That's Canberra for you. And exactly why my daughter can hardly wait to
finish her PhD and get outa there.
