If you thought it was cold this morning, spare a thought for Liawenee in Tasmania’s Central Highlands — it is already one of the coldest places in Australia and has just broken its own record.
Temperatures dropped to -14.2 degrees Celsius just after 6:00am — a new record low for the state and even colder than Antarctica .
Michael Lasko from the Bureau of Meteorology said the Liawenee temperature was 2C colder than the town’s previous record low of -12.2C, made back in 2013.
