While reading about Bob Bolton's mode of dress in Canberra at Easter, it is worth noting that this man rarely wears more than short sleeves in the most inclement of weather. So it is probably a good idea not to use his estimation as a guide.

For most of us ordinary mortals, Canberra at Easter time gets BLOODY COLD at night! Some years it has fallen below freezing. 2000 was one of those years. While walking back to my tent at about 4 in the morning (as you do) I noticed somebody had etched in the ice on one of the car windscreens: "THIS FESTIVAL IS WAY TOO COOL!"
