Growing in Australia

Salty, I'm from western Victoria, between Ballarat and Ararat.

Tessa, I don't have any experience of NZ. It's just my experience, that the sunshine here has changed in nature over the last few decades, coinciding with the depletion of the ozone layer.

I remember one day working out in our orchard with my husband. It was early spring, some time in the late 70's. The sun had a real mid summer sting to it, which we hadn't experienced before at that time of year. Not long after we started hearing about the the ozone layer.
Til then it had been pleasant to be in the sun for much of the day, most of the year.
