Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak. Fantasy novel - The Arcanist's Tattoo My LOTR fan-fiction

Maybe average of 29 degrees, cooler days down to 21 degrees and hotter days up to 37 degrees celcius. Our venue is airconditioned and accommodation also has airconditioning. It's not as hot in Canberra as other places out west, or like western Sydney. We are in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range so a little cooler. Our national capital attractions are also airconditioned.
