A question on r/AskAnAustralian reads "This is my first experience of an Aussie winter and I am absolutely freezing!! how do you guys cope?

The Monday Mandarin Club Murder Mysteries..
My wife has been taking in-person Mandarin lessons and from the description of the ragtag group of misfits she’s been studying with, I feel like they should soon be solving crimes together.
