Yeah we lived in Perth for a while and got one frost (well something that
resembled slightly white grass) when we liven in Upper Swan - I think it was
about 1983.

We generally get about 5 or 6 a year here, but they are quite good ones,
about minus 4 and any time from Early May to the end of Sept. It makes
growing frost sensitive things a bit of a challenge, but you can get by as
long as you can pick the frost coming and cover things up.

What is this "frost" stuff? Isn't that the stuff you put on patty
cakes?
