Yes, every now and then Sydney has a Melbourne day. Last week we had one so i shot it.

Dark, grey, overcast and rainy. Taken at 0930 (AM)

Thankfully it doesn't happen very often.

Mate, we've had nothing but sunshine for ages down here dude :0
I got a suntan today, lovely 22degC.

Great shot Steve! Kipper - tomorrow in Sydney it will be 23degrees! Ahhh gotta love that. Where do u find a scene even remotely similar to Steve's shot in Melbourne?

Steve,

your pic is a bit of a contrast to those from the night mini meet

Reminds me of the view from my hotel room on a visit to Sydney last year (Mercure on Broadway):

The Harbour City

I bet that wasn't the view that they have on the hotel website...
Nice shot of the brewery...

Steve... Some days are just like that... Usually the days when we don't have to work...

Steve - the many, and varied, faces of this great city - nice shot

Some information you may be interested in Sydneysiders:

Sydney average annual rainfall...........................1220mm

Melbourne average annual rainfall........................600mm

Just something you may want to ponder before you bag the 'Mexicans' weather again :wink:

After our 'big wet' in Feb, we have had an extremely dry March, April and May, with very little or no rain, and beautiful clear blue skies and above average temps. It has been a while since we've had any sort of cloud cover! :wink:

Beautiful picture by the way Killa :wink:

My good lady wife, being a Queensland girl who moved to Melbourne, critically reviews
the weather on a daily basis, and likes to share her thoughts on this subject with me.

That pretty much absorbs every particle of interest I have in the
subject, possibly even slightly more than that.

However, it is a very good photo Steve

I always knew that there was something special about you, Greg.

Now I know - it's your wife! :lol:

Trevor,

She's a lovely lady, but lost the lot in a gambling spree at the Casino. That's how she, er, "won" Greg.

That's a good reason for greater transparency in Casino gambling, don't you think? :lol:

Beautiful one day, frostbitten the next.
It doesn't rain, it drizzles (and drizzles and drizzles)

stormy i didnt relise you came from the greatest state on earth which my heart ponders. why did you move to .......melbourne?

Posted: **Tue May 24, 2005 11:06 pm**

Hey Jethro,

Born and bred in Melbourne, wouldn't move to Sydney if ya payed me....too humid! Although the storms would be wonderful! :lol:

Posted: **Tue May 24, 2005 11:09 pm**

a lot warmer in winter is a plus but the down side is megaheat in summer and bushfires.

Posted: **Tue May 24, 2005 11:27 pm**

I must admit in all honesty that I have no problem with Melbourne per se.. In fact I reckon there are 2 great things that come out of Melbourne:

1. Carlton Draught
2. The Hume Hwy

:wink:
