The only place in Queensland where you would experience a temperature of 
-17 Celsius would be in a cold storage facility, a particularly cold one 
at that.

Most of Queensland is tropical/sub-tropical and temperatures as low as 
-17 Celsius do not occur.


If somebody has chosen to transmit the inside temperature of his 
refrigerator it's hardly indicative of the temperature in that area!
