We also live in Melbourne and yes it is cold, windy & nasty. Husband is originally from Canada, we have lived in Vancouver and I can understand as the weather is very similar to Melbourne, except for the fact that you get more snow.

We went through Adelaide last Friday on a rushed trip to Port Piri, Port Augusta and Whyalla. Friday in Adelaide was quite sunny after that the weather turned really bad.

We leave Melbourne at 11.30pm next Thursday for 1 month in Thailand, I won't be sorry to leave this weather behind.
