Victoria is shivering through its coldest day of the year, with heavy rainfalls and severe weather warnings for damaging winds plaguing the stateâs east.
Around 7.4mm of rain fell over Olympic Park, just outside the Melbourne CBD from midnight on Saturday. At sunrise, the temperature in the city was hovering just over 7 degrees.

Dustings of snow could be seen on Mount Buller, Mount Hotham and at Falls Creek snowcams this morning, with falls down to 700 metres.

I d love to be heading off to admire crocs and Aboriginal rock art in Kakadu in a couple of months. Same goes for cruising the Kimberley coast, bracketed by a few days in Broome and Darwin. Ditto Lord Howe Island in October when the red-tailed tropicbirds are breeding along the cliffs. Governments of all stripes are egging me on and subsidising my travels by way of half-price airfares – but I just can t afford it.
Don t get me wrong, I can do cheap. There s plenty to love about Australia that doesn t involve a deep dive into the piggy bank. A hike in the Blue Mountains with the earth spiralling away at my feet and waterfalls spurting from the escarpment above costs next to nothing. Victoria s Black Spur Drive with a spot of wine tasting in the Yarra Valley – fantastic! I have a covert fascination for cheap motels which is regrettably not shared by my partner but Australia s iconic experiences - the ones that are going to stick in your memory forever – are scaldingly expensive.
