We plan to visit Canberra Late June, early July.

What are ther average night and day temperatures and how do you keep warm.

Thanks, Jo

I'm a born and breed "yogi" , only moved to Victoria 5 years ago. Winter in Canberra is quite cold. Think -10 mornings and pack for that and will be fine. Also be prepared to scrap ice off your window with your credit card

Yes it can get down in the -8's generally more like -3 or 4. but we tend to have really nice sunny days too!

So layers, layers, layers!

Minus 10? In the almost ten years I've been here I think I could count the number of times the temp has got that low on one hand. Night time average is more like -3 or -4 with the occasional colder night of -6 or -7. During the day, a warm day would be anything around 10.

The trick to keeping warm is to dress in layers so as to make it easy to go from outdoors to indoors and back to outdoors again without too much of a change to your body temperature. Also, keep your extremities warm, ie. gloves for hands, scarf for neck and shoulders, hat for head and socks for feet and ankles. A good long-ish winter coat, not necessarily super-thick but at least lined, is something I will not go without either.

At night, flannelette pj's are handy, especially if you need to get up during the night. Warm slippers and a dressing gown help too.

Most places are well heated so if you'll be staying indoors overnight then you won't need anything particularly different to say winter in Sydney or Melbourne (from experience).

I was working at a boarding kennel for a few years we'd get to work at around 6:30 - 7am (winter we were allowed to start a little later) and it was often -5 at that time of morning when I got to work. Water dishes frozen, hoses frozen, ground frozen and frosted over... Ice on the car if you didn't have it under cover... Usually by 9am it was -3 and warming up nicely.

Days are usually faily sunny though so although it's cold it's not too bad.
