Back in Thredbo temps are more than 10 degrees cooler than parts of Sydney but the lack of air con doesn't help.

I find the following images quite cooling :-)

Latest from Rusutsu was a complaint that it hasn't been snowing for a few days.

Thredbo Blues is on this weekend. Come and get away from the worst of the heat to a place where the music goes until late.
