Celsius or Fahrenheit? ;-)
Irrespective of that, obviously the weather in the southern temperate 
zone is much less predictable than on the northern hemisphere... I 
remember having seen a Malcolm Douglas show several years ago, filmed in 
November in the Stirling Range - and the mountains (at about 900 m above 
sea level) were snow-covered!

The climate of the southern shore of West Australia should be equivalent 
to the Azores islands in the Atlantic Ocean... and even in cooler but 
equally oceanic Ireland I just can't imagine Carrantuohil or Wicklow 
Mountains still covered in snow in May! The high mountainsides of Black 
Forest in Germany are frequently snow-clad in May, but this is a 
semi-continental climate with much colder winters than you have in 
southern Australia!

See you in Khyberspace!
