Birds are looking
good at nine degrees Centigrade in Jells Park, Melbourne, Australia. So are the
Ws. This couple keep fit daily in ALL weather conditions including winter
with their puffy jackets, beanies to keep their ears from frost bite 🤣🤣 and gloves.
“Crikey! Winter has arrived in Australia 🥶🥶 and they are out by 9am.” WHY? I'll be warm and snug in bed.
The Ws at a cool 10 C in Scotchman's creek, a long trail that leads all the way into Melbourne city. It is not just a stroll in the park, they chalk up at least 6km daily.
Some days they get crazier clocking past 7km at 4 degrees C. OH WHY? God made winters for his people to stay in bed with a good book. NO? 
Today, they took a 5.9km walk up to the Dandenong Creek Trail. "Hmmm, it was only 6 degrees Centigrade today but felt like 4 C with a good sun shinning. Cold but no wind chill, enough to rug up but not freezing cold," she says!

The dogs 🐶 are out
including grey hounds in their winter jackets.

The Dandenong Trail starts when the gum trees start dominating the landscape. My goodness, Ms. W sure was well rugged up and the sun cast long shadows.
So was Mr. W. Brr, with the past year locked down, folks are eager to get out of hibernating at home.

Melbourne is truly beautiful even in winter. Australia opens international borders only in 2022. What a long time to wait for a visit.
Winter in Australia!! It's not Winter here in Canada. until we have snow piled up on the side of the roads, the ground and lakes are frozen solid and the temp is double digit minus *C.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the first day of Summer, bring it on, I do not like the cold any more.
The photo's a inviting.
Double digit minus C. Ahhh, I am not going anywhere near Canada in winter. How do you all keep warm?
DeleteIt looks lovely. Winter in Australia is one of my favourite seasons. As I type it is early and only about 1C, but with luck we will have a sunny 13 or 14 today.
ReplyDeleteTQ. Cold at 1 C for me. I think I can take 13 or 14 C if the sun is out. Yes, every season has its own personality and beauty.
Deletewe are getting summer, very hot summer in the America now...
ReplyDeleteMiss winter.... lol...
beautiful sceneries... great shots.
I am following you, hope you follow me too
DeleteGood to hear summer is at your front door now Tanza. Our daily temperatures are around 31 C and feels like 36 C. I wonder if it gets this hot in your town?
DeleteSouthern states of USA may reach 40 C degree in some days, but very rare....
Delete35 C degree is common in the middle of hot summer....
Take care
I have visited these areas and enjoyed them all. I note that you say that Melbourne is beautiful EVEN in winter. I would change that to ESPECIALLY in winter. Not for me temperatures in the thirties and forties.
ReplyDeleteHello David, you would find it very difficult here Where temps are 30 - 33 C and humidity at ard 70 - 90% daily. Visit Msia in Nov when it is cooler around 28 C 🤗 🤩 !!
DeleteOh so good photos
ReplyDeleteGreat post and nice photos! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteThose eucalypts trees I can see in the pictures are marvelous ... I would have never thought eucalypts may be so tall.
ReplyDeleteNice post!
That looks so lovely and it's nice to see Melbourne open again and out of lockdown! So very cold though! We had a cold start to winter but it wasn't that cold, brr! much warmer up here in Brisbane!
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a lovely week :)
Away From The Blue
