Yep, prepare and deal with it. I've lived here all my life so know what Australian summers can be like (amazingly different depending on where in Australian one is. I'll live, but I'll rarely pass up a chance to say fuck you heat so took the opportunity; I like your style too...heat should be told to fuck off often.
I guess being on the lake cooled things down a little?
Yeah, cooled it down a great deal. There was a big group of folks that had boats out there and we'd go to an underwater beach where we could congregate and swim. When the weather started becoming unpredictable, everyone left off going out in the evening, the gators moved in and that's all she wrote lol.
Do you get snow anywhere in Australia?
Yep, it snows here in several places like the Victorian high country, New South Wales, Tasmania, and The Australian Capital Territory. There's ski fields and all. It's not a super long season though and snow in the cities of those States/Territory isn't really a thing.
Short season is okay as long as you get there in time to ski when the snow is there. I don't ski, so FL is okay with me
I don't ski either, not on snow anyway, did some water skiing here and there.
