Hi there, it’s that time again – the DOWNunder UPdate newsletter from the Australia site at Bellaonline. We are experiencing a cold start to the winter, pretty much throughout Australia at present. Lots of storms with wind and hail and massive seas along the east coast. The surfers love the waves, but they can be very dangerous to the inexperienced.

Last week at the Australia site, I posted another article in the series on climates experienced in each of the states of Australia. This time it’s all about South Australia and the capital city Adelaide. Here’s the link for your interest: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art49860.asp

Don’t forget our forum is there for you to add to. Here’s the link: http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=315

Here’s some links to the leading Australian Newspapers for you to catch up on what’s happened in the last week:

I have a couple of links to interesting stuff I’ve found on the web – with an Aussie theme of course. Enjoy!
