The cold and stormy winter has arrived early in Australia. That's pretty surprising, as Adelaide hasn't shivered through its coldest start to June in nearly 30 years, and Sydney has not been this cold, this early in the year, since 1931. Canberra recorded -7C, -5C and -7C on three consecutive mornings, the coldest this early in the year since 1976.
Ok, so it's cold in Australia, but that shouldn't stop you going.
