It's perfect weather for working outside. Cold enough you don't overheat doing heavy work, but not so cold you freeze. Even a bit of sun if you catch it at the right time. I've swept some paths, done a bit of weeding and a bit of cutting back. It should be the same type of weather all weekend too, so I might be able to do a bit of mulching and another trim of the grass as well before the weather turns.

I'm using the ups and downs to get the road base and ground raising done in the sunny weather, get some light compacting in, then LET THE RAIN COME and go smoosh

It looks like Melbourne is expected to get to 17 degrees, so even nicer than Ballarat's 12!
