A drop of 20 to 25C overnight is not unusual here (20C would probably 
be pretty normal in fact) but, day on day, even 8 to 10C would be 
pretty extreme.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if cooler is healthier.  What brought 
this to mind is that the last of the Australian First World War 
veterans have been dying off over the past few years, and a surprising 
number of them seem to have lived in Tasmania.  Given the small 
population of that State I can only assume they sent off a very high 
proportion of volunteers or the ones that did go went on to live a 
very healthy life in our coldest State.

Cheers, Phred.
