PositivePixie Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Lovely scenery, but um, I'm not too sure about that weather!?! I thought you were meant to be in Oz - after the weather here the last couple of days, where is the sunshine! :chatterbox: (Although I guess, it is Victoria, but the picture of those people on the beach - completely rugged up! And its not winter surely anymore there?! Argh - I feel I'm being tricked with this 'its nice weather over there, nice and warm/hot all the time.....NOOOOOOoooooooo! :biglaugh: ) Maybe they're just keeping the nice weather in storage until we get there? Yes, that must be it :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Haha well the sun was out on the Sunday when we did everything but the helicopter ride (we did that monday morning and there was a bit of haze in the atmosphere) but it was the windiest day EVER!!! The wind comes straight from the arctic so was a pretty chilly day aswell! I got whiplash from my hair lol. oh and the 'It's always sunny and warm' line is sooo not true, I've experienced more colder weather than warm lol. (when I say cold, I mean under 20c lol).

(when I say cold, I mean under 20c lol). LOL - ya see, I think cold is under 5 degrees, so it shouldn't be too bad - but I'm still sticking my fingers in my ears and going lalalalalalala - it will always be at least 22 degrees and sunny and warm everyday in our Oz lives :twitcy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I thought cold was about under 10, but it does seem colder than normal here lol when there's a breeze blowing or overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewebweazel Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 A good reason Not to sit on PIO all night !! First snake bite death in WA since 1998 by: Nicolas Perpitch The Australian,December 02, 2010 12:00AM A 43-YEAR-OLD man has died less than two hours after being bitten on the toe by a snake while sitting at his home computer. Police believe it was a 30cm juvenile Tiger snake, which would be the first death of its kind in Western Australia since 1998. Michael Thorpe was at home in Gingin, 80km north of Perth, with his six-year-old daughter on Friday night when he was bitten at about 9pm. Police said he wrapped a towel around his foot and leg and called a friend, who arrived within minutes. The friend found the snake and killed it, but Mr Thorpe's toe had by then become swollen and blue and he started having difficulty breathing. An ambulance was called but police said by the time it had finished the 35-minute drive to Joondalup Health Campus Mr Thorpe was unconscious. He was declared dead at 10.52pm. Gingin Police Sergeant Scott Gillis warned that any delay in calling an ambulance was dangerous. "That allowed the venom to spread more, that he didn't seek medical attention straight away." Geoff Isbister, a toxicologist and head of the Australian Snakebite Project at the Menzies School of Health Research, said the most important thing to do after a snakebite was to immediately administer CPR. "In terms of preventing deaths in Australia, a lot have occurred because people have collapsed and not received CPR," he said. But when they do, they have often survived." http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/first-snake-bite-death-in-wa-since-1998/story-e6frg6nf-1225964140919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
