The weather is cool, the rain continues and the Australian evergreens hardly show a sign of impending winter. Still, the temperatures have dropped overnight to a low 14 deg C. That's around 57 def F. It is time to find jumpers, coats and warm blankets.
School holidays begin today.
So thoughts of camping and travelling are forefront in our minds.
The scent of woodsmoke and the taste of billy tea tempt us to brave the conditions...
At this time of year snakes, ticks and biting insects are less prevalent. :) So it is perfect for camping.
Or, if sitting in comfort at home and reading a good book
or two...
Or just dreaming of sailing away to far off lands.
What are you doing this weekend?

Lovely post, Rosalie. Here in the northern hemisphere, we're getting all excited that temperatures finally rise to 14°C and we start shedding warm sweaters occasionally.
Hm, I don't think I would dare to go camping in Australia. Bushwalking already felt like quite an adventure, though I only once saw a redback spider, and in Tasmania, I was lucky enough to see a snake.
As Edith said we are awaiting spring in the northern hemisphere.
I still can't believe the weather forecast telling us to expect temperatures beyond 20°C on upcoming Monday in Germany!
I like your atmospheric post a lot.
hehehe...
Cooler weather is perfect for camping. The snakes usually prefer to stay out of our personal space. Thank goodness. Tents these days have screens, so even spiders aren't a problem.
Twenty degrees... wonderful temperature.
Thanks for dropping in, Edith and Edi. Enjoy your spring time!
