Looking though Rwood's climate, and it seems the Med-style climates in South Africa and Australia are just too warm or too dry.
Is it in South America? So far all the likely Chilean candidates have too sharp a rainfall curve, either too dramatically wet like Valdivia or too dramatically dry like Valparaiso, but the temperature stats are about right so it seems like that's the only potential region.
To drop a clue about mine - no, not Africa either. Given there's not all that much landmass in the southern hemisphere, you know now it's in South America - but where?

Mine is not in South America. I guess yours must be near the margins of the Andes to have winters that cold. Neuquen, Argentina doesn't look too far off with its numbers - I still find those odd fluctuations in rainfall average a bit strange - maybe it has a short record.

You're not a million miles off. The rainfall is part of the clue. Think of the rainy seasons that effect temperate and subtropical South America... and find the spot between.

Most of the places within reasonable range of Nequen seem to be rather small, and any climate data I've found so far is off. Large towns a bit north of Nequen seem to show a clear summer maximum. I don't see how it can be Chile of course, because the winter max. goes well north of Santiago and rainfall then tails off very sharply to true desert levels.
Akaroa-oui?. A charming little town. Subtropical by Trewartha's definition.
Yes, you're correct. Pedantically one can point out that the site was actually at Onawe. If I pick another NZ location I must be more cunning, so as to make it more difficult for "locals".
The rainfall pattern over Banks Peninsula (winter max, sharp drop to spring , and late spring or summer minimum) is unique for the South Island, though in the north, some parts of Hawkes Bay are similar.

Well, it's much smaller than Santiago, but it's a behemoth compared to Waimate. ( Edit: or Akaroa... )

Yes, it does feel a bit like insider trading. I will have to do one myself.
Definitely an interesting rainfall pattern. Banks Peninsula is a great asset for Canterbury.

Next clue: radioactive ungulates.
Tried General Roca, but summers not hot enough, rainfall not quite right either. Also Gen. Jose de San Martin - winter rainfall fail among other things. Comodoro doesn't fit either. I give up!
Edit: found it, but basically by accident, so won't put in a guess. Also found a version of rainfall monthly means that is smoother and more convincing.
