Travelling up to Northern territory to visit family and welcome a new addition
In the space of only 15 hours, the temperature range doubles from 15 to 20 range to 35 to 45 range and it is still only spring
Daylight and dark times alter dramitally.
Mother nature is in charge and gives each day as she chooses.
Father time tells no one when or what he plans to do with you.
Locals of all reagions reckon that theirs is the norm.
AUS The Land of all Seasons 20-09-2022
As southerners escape the winter chill.
Locals have their fun with some thrill.
When temps are climbing to forty five.
Mate ‘warm enough’ ? will you survive.
Give impression folk up here are really tough.
Work all day, rarely to say, I have had enough.
Come the time when temps go down by half.
Comes the time for visitors to have a laugh.
At twenty, locals start to whinge and moan.
Throw a jacket in the ute as they leave home.
Gloves and beanies pulled out from the drawer
Lest the thermometer drops too much more.
As fifteen becomes the top, noise drifts away.
Michelin clad men, far too cold to have any say
As ‘T’ shirt clad in shorts asks in an innocent way.
Mate ‘cool enough’ will you survive for another day
A land of contrast, a land of scope, a land of hope.
Weather is only the weather, just a state of mind.
Relative to what you’re used to, changes day by day.
Worry not, if it is cold or hot, restricting what you do.
Because you lose that day, that you will never get back.
