Armidale has had a lovely Autumn so far with some wonderful sunny days and temperatures averaging, I'd guess, at around 21C (70F). There's also been a little rain, so things are still verdant. However, the lower than average rainfall is encouraging the many trees of this city to don their Autumn colours and everywhere I look there are red or yellow towers of foliage - except of course for the natives which don't lose their leaves in Winter. April's counterpart in the Northern hemisphere is October, but I cannot recall encountering any October day with a temperature over 20C while living in Britain. Even night-time temperatures have held up around 10C, which makes for pleasant cycling to UNE.
However, Autumn is really going to arrive this evening when a vigorous cool change reaches the Northern Tablelands. Apparently it's snowing down in the Snowy Mountains and Melbourne's maximum is likely to be only 18C. I'll be driving down to Tamworth this afternoon to meet up with Max, who is currently staying with Rob's parents during his school holidays, but the change coming through will not interfere with the drive.
