Heating

Don’t kid yourself it gets cold in Australia. It doesn’t reach the bone chilling, hand numbing temperatures of Canada but it does get uncomfortable especially as they don’t have central heating. During our trip in the South we were wearing our Canadian Winter coats. How do Australians keep warm? They use merino (what is this?) wool blankets, bar heaters, electric blankets, doonas (what are they?), reverse flow air conditioners, and pot belly stoves using wood. In fact we used the pot belly stoves to dry our clothes as dryers are as rare as hen’s teeth. Australians dry their clothes outside on the line.
