We don't have snow in Western Australia, so we have to make do with the
local materials. Besides, it's summer!

Although oddly it did snow in Australia (at Thredbo in New South Wales) for a
few moments on Sunday :)  Meanwhile it was about 32 degrees above zero here,
though I hear Western Australia has generally been hotter and drier than
Queensland.  I've been making the most of the beach as well - nice pic :D

strangely enough, we are having our coldest december in recorded history
(OK, that's only 100 years, but even so....)
here is a wetter version with pompom hat. And credits for the sunglasses
should go to 3D cafe.

Cute!

Climate is difficult stuff! Experts here are still very reluctant to
attribute anything definitely to humans....

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!
