    Outdoors, I can deal with the -40C in low humidity no problem. In Australia (south/southwest), it feels so much colder. Maybe it's because you can't escape the cold unless you want to empty your wallet on heating bills (really expensive here). You put on your layers before you even get out of bed. :(

    Sounds like youre in a poorly insulated dwelling. By comparison, I'm in a 14 year old apartment in Melbourne and hardly needed the heater this winter. Its got a heat pump air con / heater so heating / cooling not expensive

    Might be. I've lived in a house in Warrnambool and a house in Ballarat, so no neighbours above, below or beside to help keep my unit consistent like I did in Edmonton.

    I'm also not a builder or any tradie, so I'm not sure what the houses are really made of. I just know the noticeable differences between how I felt in houses and apartments in Canada vs houses in south/southwest Victoria.

    I did live in an apartment in Preston for a short stint, and didn't use heating or cooling at all. It was lovely, sans the meth heads upstairs.
