One has to love Australian summers!!
Photo's speak for themselves :lol:

South Australia

Tasmania

 

[CLaPorte432]

I'm jealous. What a beautiful place. Although my fear of sharks and snakes will keep me away from it.

 

[Kayty]

North Queensland

Feel free to put up your summer photos We'll try and warm up our Northern Hemisphere friends!

 

[mom2pride]

Haha...love the tasmanian devil!!! I am envious of the ocean front though...

For the most part it's been warmish here...a little cold today, but I don't mind our winters here!!!

 

[MyBoyPuck]

Love the pic of the three seals. I hate traveling, but your country is on my list of the only three places I'd make the effort to see. It just looks beautiful.

 

[csimkunas6]

Wow! Gorgeous pics! Def a place I will have to visit sometime!

Here are some pics I took of the beach a week or so ago.

 

[PumpkinzMyBaby22]

How about SE QLD at the moment? Feel free to warm us up! :lol: It has been raining non-stop for a week or two except for Auzzie day.

 

[SorrelHorse]

Clear a guest room. I'll book a flight and be there tomorrow.

I'll send some Adelaide weather to you I have some friends and family in SE QLD, poor ******s!
Its hot, dry....and hot!!! We're meant to have a bit of a thunderstorm tonight, with a bit of rain - doesn't look like there's much rain it in so we're a bit nervous as this season has been so good for undergrowth and thickness of grass, we don't need lightening, hot temps and northerly winds at the moment :/

 

[mudpie]

HOMFG have you ever seen a platypus before?! 8O

 

[Kayty]

Yep mudpie, but only in a breeding place for them. They are REALLY shy in the wild, its pretty unlikely that you can see them in the wild. I'll have to try and find a photo from when I had a tour through their breeding place in Tasmania. They are gorgeous little critters

 

[mudpie]

OMG! That's so awesome!! :O You must take pictures JUUUUST for me!!

 

[RedTree]

We have had a heat wave over here the last few days, although we did have a thunderstorm on Aus day.

You deffs need some West Aussie photos though

 

[RedTree]

oh and how could I forget

When we got bogged at the beach during work xD

Had to get the tractor to tow us out

 

[Country Woman]

Wow Now I know why I love Australia so pretty
and exotic

I have a few friends that live there

 

[DraftyAiresMum]

Alright, Kayty, you are officially mean. lol

One does not generally take pics of Arizona outside during the summer because it is too damned hot. However, in the interest of fair play...hiking pics from two summers ago.

This is what we term a "river" here in AZ...

Taken MANY years ago (about 11 now?) on the trails around the mountain where I now ride my beastly:

 

[PintoTess]

Aussie Aussie Aussie !!

 

[smrobs]

LOL, those certainly are some gorgeous pictures. You truly have some amazing country over there but I am like others, my fear of snakes and sharks and those big-*** spiders ya'll have (all of which are poisonous) make me think that I will be happy with just my rattlers and black widows LOL.

As for the heat, ya'll can keep it, it will be back up in triple digits here soon enough and I can't really complain about an average temp of 55*F for the month of January.

 

[Walkamile]

I'll have to wait for several months before I can post pictures of our lovely, but short summer.

But, then you'll be in winter , right? :lol:

 

[tinyliny]

I have to say that the sharks, blue bottle jellyfish, poisonous octopus, spiders and ticks and lizards and snakes , make me think that you must have to constantly watch where you sit, walk, sleep, swim.
We have NO poisonous critters here, at all. Just bears, cougars and an occasional coyote, but they stay to themselves.
Anyway, weren't you complaining about how hot it was, Kayty, like just a few weeks ago?
It's just around -2c here right now. NOt bad.
