Ok I'm sure people are doing it tougher than me but i thought north of the great divide was meant to be warm (er).  4 degrees in Renmark tonight.

How cold is it where you are camping tonight?

So I think it's about 14 outside.
Just sat down to eat a nice pork port house roast..

Went out today and brought a new gas heater which was pretty good. And comfy. Can't have a fire or ozpig as I am in the caravan park. Was surprised on how well it worked.

Apparently down to about 8 tonight..

Going camping to the Blue Mountains this week. Should be pretty cold. Although it has been down to -1 here anyway.
No snow or wind here though.

Set up the Trackabout for them and then check into the Jindabyne pub.
