Well today is the 1st of the month, change of seasons, and the optimism of spring!
This is particularly apparent in the real estate world - where houses go on the market, and the gardening and home improvement world - great for Bunnings, Masters and other home-garden shops.
Temps last night were winter-like, but it will warm up over then next few days to mid-20's C in this area by mid-week.

A steady southerly wind is making September feel like a chilly day in July. (mid-winter)
^^ Newcastle also has had sunshine everyday for at least a full week,
however most days I'm not warm before 10am and after 4pm; 6 hours of comfort a day usually?
We have had 2-3 summerlike days so far, one-offs.
We had one about 3 days ago. It was warmer at 8am then than it is at 1 pm now.
I already hate Newcastle winter (it's too long imho) so Flight Simmer you have my sympathies. 
Townsville winter in retrospect is a lot nicer.
Worst I could say about it was I mildly-disliked Townsville winter. 
I think in general,
I'm disliking everything (besides rain) that makes NSW's climate "temperate"; mild sunshine, cool afternoon breezes etc.
However unlike in Toronto Canada
I thoroughly enjoy even the slightest anomaly from average.
2+ C/ 4+ F above average is enough to make me happy,
as is the odd day that is almost dead calm with near-seasonal temperatures.
so about 1-in-10 days here are close to perfect for me so far.

After a very sunny August, spring is a continuation of this theme with a slight cool down today, but still excellent outdoors weather.
Currently a very nice 21C, expected to reach 29C by the end of the week.

two days ago it was 35.5c for 5 hours which is 13 degrees above normal. and sunny, and dew point 20c was so nice.
uv index is down to 5 though so my tan is starting to go and it is only sept 1. but I am still darker than most other Caucasians here.
