Winter is here or almost here depending...

For Australians, the seasons start on the first of the month.  Hence winter started on June 1, instead of the winter solstice for the southern hemisphere.  While I have gotten used to the idea of colder weather in June (this was challenging being a northern hemisphere person), I still haven't acclimatized to the winter here - though I feel cold just looking at how the Victorians are all bundled up as if the next ice age is around the corner.  

A word of advice when crossing streets.  Many streets do not have crosswalks and drivers "enforce" that they have the right of way.  Now technically if you are crossing a street and a car turns onto your street it is supposed to give way to you by law... except many Victorian drivers don't seem to know that law.
