The winters you have are similar to much of the spring, summer and autumn here. Hilarious! In 2007 most of the summer was 14-16C with one day only 12C max! Winters can be mild but usually with at least three months of quite cold weather often in the low single figures C. We usually have very few frosts which rarely go below -5/-6C, but every once in a few years it hits hard. Winter 2010/11 gave us 7 weeks constantly below freezing down to around -17C with one day maximum -7C! We can get temps. in April max. 4C, we had snow in the first week of June some years ago.

Sturt's Desert Pea is the floral emblem of South Australia (where I come from), I never saw one though. It's spectacular! You've sent me on a nostalgic trip.

Mulla mulla must be a sight to see, it seems to be useful for it's natural properties.

The ground view from the camp is better than the aerial view, the little man on google wasn't playing ball to get a 'street view', he kept jumping back but I guess the google vehicles don't venture to such places. Rolling on the floor laughing

Do you know what the yellow flowers are in the last shot?
