What's with the Weather?
Before I came to Australia, all I had to go on was my previous vacation to Perth and reports from Carole and Louise. Perth is perennially warm and endlessly sunny, and Carole's experiences were all on the west coast. So I took Louise's word on Sydney weather: a hot summer and sweltering days on the beach. I'm not blaming Louise, but she was wrong! This year has turned out to be a record breaking year of "cold" temperatures and very wet weather. All last week was rainy, and next weeks forecast has little storm clouds for each day. Rain everyday for weeks reminds me of Taiwan, but for a country that's been in drought for years, the flooding and full reservoirs are news worthy!
