It is said that our region only has 2 distinct seasons, the dry season in autumn, winter and spring and the wet season in summer. Autumn rainfall drops to a monthly average of around 108mm. The season of Autumn is a little cooler with average temperature 20o C – 30o C. It’s the time when we plant out annuals and trim back a lot of the growth after the ‘wet’ season.

    Arati ... I do appreciate your comment. When I wrote this post last year I wasn't really expecting anyone to read my blog. I started it for my own amusement really ... and certainly wasn't expecting comments. It's lovely to get a comment on this post, thank you!
