Coldest Aussie temp of the year as widespread snow blankets southeast Anthony Sharwood, Monday May 17, 2021 - 11:12 EST
It got so cold, temperatures almost reached negative double-figures.

They say that age equals wisdom, and no person in Australia has more of it than Roma s Dexter Kruger, Australia s oldest person who turns 111 years young today. After the passing of 111-year-old Mabel Crosby on December 30, southwest Queensland supercentenarian Dexter became Australia s oldest living person. Having been born four years before the outbreak of World War I, Dexter has seen rapid technological and global changes in his long lifetime, but he credits his longevity to his sense of humour and his resilience through highs and lows. Well, it s me, you see. And that s why I m here today and other people are not, he said.
