Just landed in Melbourne today. Mid November - No worries I thought, who the fuq would need a jumper in mid November? I'll travel light.

Give me the semi permanent smoke haze of Qld any day. This cold shi.t in what the rest of us think is Summer is just wrong.
How’s the wind this arvo? Wow! Then the dust storm, then the little rain, well, mud drops. The sky looked bizarre!

After a couple of warmer days, back to the usual 31 degrees up here in the rainforest today. Dunno how we'll ever cope with a return to Victoria's constantly changing weather!
Bloody hot here yesterday, and windy.Quote:

You know its been a long cold Melbourne winter when last springs whipper-snipper settings don’t fit your new whipper-snapper onboard!

And a whole heap approaching Tassie west coast.

Fire services on scan and they're requesting more and more help every 5 mins. The ring road is a never-ending convoy of red sirens.

Just listening in on them again, they are fearing this wind change predicted , and the unknown path of it, big time... It could turn nasty.
That's smack bang both sides of a MFB/CFA boundary. Both urban brigades that will become unified as Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) on Thursday. Sure those paid local brigades have grass fire training but not like the steel-balled country volunteer heroes that protect private property from bushfires and the titanium-balled volunteer rappel and hover exit DELWP firefighters dropping in deep with rakes and drip torches.Quote:
