haha. yeah its is quite warm and dry here, and when it rains it dosnt stay wet for long, alot of older places here are all timber built houses with wooden board or fiberboard walls with corrugated iron roofing, and just about every house from the 80`s onwards is built from bricks, with brick inner walls, wooden or steel roof frames with clay or concrete tiles...
and we do have lawnmowers here too..
theyre called sheep and goats...
