Autumn Weather

We have recently experienced a long run of excellent Autumn weather as Summer gives way gradually to Winter. During the last four days we travelled to Canberra and back, a distance of >1700 km (or 1100 miles), and it was brilliantly fine much of the time. Temperatures were also around the 17-18 degree range at either end (Armidale and Canberra) but rather warmer at lower altitudes in the middle.

Along the way we saw ample evidence of what the Americans call fall: brilliant red and yellow foliage among European and North American trees. The natives stay green the whole of Winter! For example, we saw this row of poplars where we dined for Mothers Day just outside of Canberra near Murrumbateman.
