I have had friends from colder places come stay and say they've never felt as bitterly cold as winter in Sydney.
When I spent some time in the snowfields in aus I was actually warm. Turns out if you build houses properly you don't even really need much heating. Residual heat from cooking and body heat hangs around for a long time, we'd only light the fire mornings and evenings.
