Somethings Never Change in Victoria

Oh how somethings seem to stay the same...Victoria is famous for our mild and may times unpredictable weather, unless of course you have lived here all your life.

When I was a young boy my Mum and Dad loved Tent Camping. My Mum would plan their 2 weeks Holidays for July or August each Somethings Never Change in VictoriaSummer.

Many times we would all find ourselves sitting in our Tent in the Rain for at least 4-5 days. My Mum would record the date watch the weather when it was sunny and plan our Vacation around those Two weeks for the following year...ha. Many times the Sunny time in the Previous Year was Rainy the follow year.

This Year in Victoria July set a record for No Rain during the entire month...You guessed it, on August 1 it rained, and almost 1/2 of the days Since then. Mum would have not been impressed.  Not a Lot of rain, just enough to help the gardens and Lawns after the rain less month of July.

Just the opposite to last Year, when July was Rainy, and not a drop of rain in August.

It has Rained every morning this past weekend....The Good News by afternoon the Clouds were all gone and sunny for the remender of the day.

Here is my iPhone Photo as the rain started while I out early walking along the Gorge Waterway on Saurday.

Fred, I wish that we could get a few days of that rain!  My lawn could sure use a good soaking from something other than the sprinklers!

You know Fred, there are just a few things we cannot control, the weather being one of them.  Your parents must have been very patient to spend several rainy days in a tent with the kids! :-)

I have noticed a strange thing that has happened in my life.  Up until about 10 years ago I loved tent camping.  But, somewhere along the way I discovered Hyatt, Sheridan, Marriott. . .Shame on me:-)

Hi Silvia...it was a family affair and I think the adults visited each other as the kids stayed in a tent or played in the rain at the beach...My dad was not happy when I touched the tent in the rain(bored waking up early), which caused rain to come through.
