Well, yes Rowan, there is Bass Strait between us and the Southern Ocean. Thank you for the input, to you and Mal. I think I was trying to explain to our Northern friends that our weather in the South of Victoria usually comes across the sea from the West. Australia being tilted downwards (or upwards if you hold the map upside down). The fronts moving, over the desert, from Western Australia, and from South Australia cross way North of us. That's a bit simplistic, of course.
It really rained a few days back. We're safe and cool. The tanks are full.
Thank you everyone for your concern. Wishing you a bit of warm in the snow.
Cheers, Joy
