Australian houses are not built for cold weather. At all. The residential construction industry just likes to pretend winter doesn't exist. I realise our winters don't compare to North America or northern Europe, but it's cosier inside a northern hemisphere house during a northern hemisphere winter than an Australian house during a southern winter (at least in the bottom half of the continent).

On the other hand, the scenic northern NSW coast would be a great place to spend the pandemic.
