We still get the seasons, Autumn when the trees shed and change colour, Winter which it is now and my Daffodils are already coming out in flower, grass doesn't grow as much, weather is lovely through the day but cold at night, Spring when all the flowering shrubs come out especially the Jacaranda trees which are beautiful and then Summer when your annuals come out, but the water is scarce and you have to improvise. NSW is a lovely state to live in and Newcastle is up the road from me (about an hour) and the Hunter Valley is gorgeous.
Happy days
