Winter is hitting hard in Brisbane at the minute. Sometimes the temperature can drop to single figures at night and only reach the low 20s during the day. And even though the sky is beautifully clear & blue the wind can cut through you. Yup, life is tough over here.
The weather also brings out the best in Brisbane fashions. The idea seems to be wrap up certain body parts whilst leaving others exposed to the sunshine. It's common to see girls wandering round in cut-off shorts so short that the pockets are hanging below the hemline but with ugg-boots and beanie hats. The guys go the other way with heavy jackets and jeans but exposed feet in flip-flops (known as thongs over here, a cause for confusion amongst visiting Brits when pub entry signs say 'No Thongs allowed').
