Also: a hint with the seasons--remember that the seasons arereversed from those in the northern hemisphere, hence June may behot, but December is even hotter. Australia is at a lower latitudethan the United States, so the winters are not harsh by USstandards, and are not even mild in the north. In fact, large partsof Australia are governed more by "dry" versus "wet" than by Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter.。,
