As the weather takes a cold turn over there, it was an ideal time to make some noise."

"April Fools' Day gave us the perfect excuse to have a bit of fun launching the Gold Coast Weather Protection Unit series. Now that everyone is in on the joke, we look forward to welcoming Kiwis with our glorious weather."
