So when do you first turn on the heating?

[echnidna]

So both the coldest holes on earth are in NSW then

[silentC]

No, I've been to Benambra

Actually, when I was a kid I spent 2 years at Thorpdale Vic. I remember one day taking a frozen puddle to school for show and tell. Had to ask the teacher to let me go first True story, ask my Mum. She had to wrap it up in brown paper.

You need the heater on when the bottle of water on the inside window ledge froze over night.

Luckily living in Melbourne we only realy need a heater for a few weeks around mid July

Must be a different Melbourne than the one I live in

My thermostat decides when it's time for the heating to come on; it's been doing just that since around Easter.

This time of year, and into winter, I try and make sure that the first job in the shed is a good bit of hand planing. Surefire way to warm up

Goulbourn, NSW. Stayed in a caravan there one time, in the morning we found the water in the dunny was frozen :eek:

G'day,

Once it hit's below 20, it's getting cool for me. Below 18 and it's getting cold, 16 or less and I know why I hate it in Melnbourne so much. I'm sure Melbourne is really part of Antartcia.

The heater has been going full bore for the last 3 weeks or so at my joint.

We have already had a day where the range was -3 to 14 so here is probably similar to Glen Innes, although on the rare occasions that I have visited GI it always seems bleaker (more like Bleakheath in fact).

Days like that in the tin shed and hand planing, hand sawing, even hand rubbing are the jobs of choice. We have been running the A/C for a couple of weeks now.

G'day,

I reakon the coldest place I've been in in Australia has been Armidale, even the wind a top Mt. Wellington in Tassie wasn't as cold, thankfully I was driving through - stopped in at Kentucky for lunch. My old car hit 0 on the temp when I hit town, got great fuel economy as a result from it.

Thanks for the geographical correction, silent, woz "gunna" google it first as I wasn't sure but thought: stuff it.

It's attitudes and behaviors like mine that keep our forum ticking over nicely, you know.

I'll second that, The New England area gotta be the coldest.

Its between Sydney and Brissy too!

Much warmer down south.

well its getting down to the mid teens now so will be putting the jumpers and doona on soon here in nth qld gets cold for a few weeks a year if its below 10 deg start freezing will have to think about putting some doors and windows back up soon to slow the draughts that u need the rest of the year to cold down

[bitingmidge]

Today I went into firewood credit :eek: .

That means I've created more firewood in Summer than we burnt in winter. Given that we have at least 10 years supply stockpiled, that's not a good thing.

Still no sign of sub 20° temps.
