Sandgropers (West Aussies) don't all own iron ore mines or cattle either, they don't even have the worlds largest cattle station (ranch), 'coz that's next door in South Australia 
Southerly Buster blew in about 3PM, went from 38°C to 22°C in about half an hour.

I do know our weather patterns are very similar, just 6 months apart. I am not sure what part of Australia a woman was in but she had moved from England. I know her landscape was similar to mine. She had a very hard time understanding the weather. I know there are regions in Australia where it goes from hot days to cool nights in the summer. Same in Texas.
You have to have a high area. You have the second largest telescope in the world. Between it and McDonald Observatory, most of the world's night sky is covered.
Now back to the weather, today's high will be 21°c (70°f) and the low will be 4°c (40° f).
