Joe, if there's one thing this country is not, mate, it's cool. IT'S BLOODY HOT! Even in winter it never hits 0 deg C (32 deg F). It might get down to 40-or-so deg F overnight in winter but it usually gets back up to 60-or-so deg F during the day - and that's only for about two weeks in June! The rest of the time it's warm and sunny. Or hot and sunny. Or BLOOD HOT AND STORMING! Like now...

Of course, the southern cities do get a little colder... but -45 deg C?! Geezergary, that's INSANE, mate! I'd move if I were you...

I will be visiting Sydney around June for a couple of weeks. What is going on car wise so that I can attend. Any races?

Vince

Well Vince, you're gonna miss our premier racing series! The V8 Supercars are racing in Western Australia in June and up here in Queensland in July. Pity, 'cause one of the support acts is the Carrera Cup. They often have what is called "Nation's Cup" too, which is a series that allows things like Ferrari 360's, Porsche GT3's (and Turbo's), Vipers and Lambourghini's to race against each other.

Check out The Porsche Club of NSW occasionally http://www.porscheclub.org.au/ as they will probably have some sort of event on during June.

Peter might be of more help. Pretty sure he's from/lives in Sydney. I'm about 1000 miles away up in Brisbane.
