Title: What to wear?
Post by: Hotlips on March 18, 2005, 02:43:02 AM
 :DHey you Canberra/NSW guys, can you tell me how the weather situation is temperature wise??  I intend to bring a bit of everything and I know the weather is lethal at changing at the last minute but should I bring more warm gear (jumpers etc) than cooler gear??  I always pack light but don't want to be caught out if I am going to be in really cold weather.
Cheers Hotlips. ;) ;)

I have just driven over the top and it was up to 9 degrees at Kiandra and at present 14 in Cooma but I still stand by my earlier statement that it is shirt sleeve time at Easter in the snowies.
ps you may need a jumper over the shirt.

Bring some warm jamys, jeans & shorts, tshirts, jumper & jacket. As Peter said, Easter is still shirt sleeve weather over here.

Hi guys,
Those day temps are the same as our overnight temps up here in QLD  :o I think a jumper or 4 may be needed for us north of the border when we get there ;). See you in  soooon

The temps displayed are not a true reflection of the Cooma min as today the min temp was 6 not 5 degrees you do notice the difference.

 :o :oS6 or 5 degrees AND YOU NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE - my god is that the difference between freezing your n...s off or wiping the icicles of your nose!! Hey surferboy perhaps you might have to go shopping for a very very very thick jumper or two. ;D ;D Hotlips.

6 Degrees is still shirt sleeve weather no need for a jumper this morning, had it been 5 Degrees I would have rolled the sleeves down.

Hey, Hotlips,

Don't you read your emails?  9:10am yesterday I sent an emai about weather to all the email recipients on Tim's list.  And you're on there.

Get with it, girl.   ::)  ::)

Martin

(That's what I like to see - a nice bit of intra-club brawling   ;)  :P)

 We are flying out of Kalgoorlie on Wednesday night - will arrive at Canberra 7 o clock Thursday morning.
Weather report in Kal for wednesday = 39 degrees
I think we may need a jumper on Thursday morning ???

Hey Blacky

What a shame you weren't coming a day (or a couple of hours) earlier as we could've picked you up at the Airport and given you a lift to pick up your new Wheels.  You could then have travelled with us to Jindabyne (we're leaving before the roosters crow on Thursday).  Having said that, I believe the QLD club will be leaving Goulburn Thursday morning.  Maybe you could meet up with them?????

Hope the trip is uneventful in your new ride.  What a brilliant way in which to "get to know her" than a pleasant relaxing cruise up the Monaro Highway to Jindabyne.  

Cheers
Graham

 Cheers Graham , we are going to be busier than a brickie in Beirut on Thursday , first we need to sort out the car , get it registered , fit a radio , find a fishing tackle shop , find somewhere to buy a front seatcover , go to the war memorial , then find our way to Jindabyne.
After all that we dont really have much planned !

If you're looking for something to fill in the day, you could always zip down and given Leon (FCCOOL) a hand.  ;)
