Default Re: Australia - high adrenaline but laid back experience?

i think cairns is the answer for the OP.

it's bloody hot up there 12-months a year.



also, officially, the first day of summer in australia was just over a month ago. this is defined by the first day that it is too hot to touch your steering wheel in your car after you park it in the sun.


down in victoria (south eastern corner of australia) it's something around 90 degrees fahrenheit today, and theoretically it is only spring.



to give you an idea of the climate, i vaguely recall an argument a couple of years ago about whether the parliament, when it was visiting up there, should have to wear suits or not. they decided not to, in the end.*


*i am not sure about the specifics of this at all, and it might just be the figment of my imagination, but regardless, it gives you an idea of the place
