Where it is REALLY cold

The Monsoon Frog has been in the cold country recently. Fingers tooooooooo cold to write even.

Not super cold, but wet and cold - even for Australia. BUT......with the rain comes renewal, and most of temperate Australia needs the rain. A few weeks of wet, cold winter weather - a typical wet winter - is something most residents are quite happy to have. At least for a short time.

Adelaide has been cool and wet, but the Adelaide Hills.......definitely cold and wet. A visit to a large compost manufacturing site south of Adelaide - usually a great place for frogs - was very wet and cold, even a bit miserable with the overcast rainy conditions.

So now back to cool and sunny Darwin. And it is still cool. Toooooooo coooooool, way to cool for pool lap swimming. Need at least 200m to warm up! Our evenings are cool and pleasant; days warm and wonderful - nights all below 20C [ 17 -19C mostly] and 30C in the day, beautiful blue skies. Eat your heart out!!!

And the Darwin Festival starts this weekend too.......looking forward to some great events, including a concert with Gurrumul. Ye ha! If you have not heard his music - a different but eloquent and poignant take on Australia visit www.skinnyfishmusic.com.au or his my space site. Fantastic!
