What time of year did you go?

We're going in August and will be joining a 10 day camping trip - do you
reckon' it will be seriously cold at night???

5 degrees C at the Rock and 6 degrees at the Alice are the average August
minimum temperatures, frosts are reasonably common in the Red Centre in
winter.

Regards

David Bennetts

Relative cold? Like the welcome from in-laws?

When I lived in Gundagai in 1971 I experienced real cold because there was a
draft in the unheated room and there was no weatherstripping. I solved the
problem by putting my Cdn Army sleeping bag (down filled) between the sheets and
covering my head with a blanket. The coldest temps were 17F. A year later I was
in The Pas and the schoolkids and I slept outside in Woods 5 Star sleeping bags
- it was minus 33F that night. It was comfortable - more comfortable than the
year before in Gundagai - but we had wrm clothing too!
