Oh, yeah - it gets chilly down there and that wind is just mega! We moved to North Canterbury, then to Gisborne, then to the UK and then back to Australia simply becasue we got tired of being cold; northern hemisphere winters are much more savage than anything I've ever experienced in NZ ... and I've had hot water bottles freeze overnight in the bedroom in Ophir, Central Otago!!
