Re: Australian gardens?

Not having been there in summer, and being curious, 
I looked up the temperatures:
http://www.australiatravelsearch.com.au/trc/climate.html
Average daily minimum-maximum temps for Feb,March are:

Sydney        19-26   17-25
Adelaide      16-28   14-25
Perth           19-30    17-29
Alice Springs 21-35  17-32

A good way to escape a french winter.
