Wow. 4.3°C is pretty low.

I think some out here could match that.

13 degrees, in the house, this morning at 6am. Still 13 at 8am. Cold all night even with a blanket over the doona.

Anyone remember when it was 5° in Cairns. I was living in Cairns then, think it was 2007.

If I remember right it was minus-10° in Ravenshoe. A big frost on the Tableland. All the green grass turned brown - thought I was back in spinifex country.

The Hinchinbrook walk wasn't that hard, back then. Four or five of us, all worked in a bushwalking shop, so the boss paid for it. I used his equipment. The backpack was a perfect fit, I bought one the same & still have it.
