It was dry there except for a few days .few days 26 to 28 gr.In the morning the day started with 11 to 14 gr then by 11.00 a.m. 22 gr and in the afternoon around 4.00 p.m. a freezing cold wind came up called "the West Australia doctor". It came from the South Pole and you immediately had to wear a thick coat, which I did not have with me as I was expecting summer weather!
