We're almost on the equinox, a time of year when Australia's Winter in metamorphoses into Spring. This year, the season has transgressed theory and launched into summer. For the last week our temperatures have been considerably warmer than the UK managed in August at the height of its so-called summer. Indeed, the last few days have seen temperatures peak at around 24C, which is close to the 26C reached in Nottingham in 2010 - whose citizens were expiring in the heat according to our media. In my mind, temperatures in the mid-20s are delightful and all the flora in our garden are racing into leaf or bloom. In comparison with the UK this explosion of greenery is very early. September is the equivalent of March in the UK, a time when Winter is just beginning to abate, and don't forget that we're at an altitude of 3250 feet (1000m).
