G'day Charley,
Rowan is now based around New England University: up in the quite high portion of the Great Dividing Range where it passes through the northern end of NSW, inland from the Pacific coast. It can be quite cool, by Aussie standards.
A friend, who is doing her degree 'remote' at New England University - left too little time to post in a major project and had to drive to Armidale from Sydney ... starting off the day of severe flooding north of Sydney! She just missed the flood levels that cut off the northern roads that she was following, but on the way back (now re-directed inland) she drove through heavy snow and hail!
Anyway, I'm afraid your Sydney stay will be quieter than it might otherwise be - no raucous button accordion or concertina accompaniments from me. Patricia and I will fly back into Sydney on Wednesday night, 31 October ... after 3 weeks in Western Australia, visiting Pat's niece and her family - and getting our first look at the very different flora of the West.
