Scott, I suggest that you contact Greg Mayman who raises chilies and
herbs and lives in Adelaide (or one of the close-in 'burbs). If you
have BBS access you can contact him through Braintap or Common Ground
BBSes on the Cooking or Herb FIDO echoes.

If you wait until about a month before winter is due to be over and
start your seeds you can get the plants up and hardened off before
transplant time. As I remember Adelaide has a Mediterranean type
climate that is great for grapes, olives and chiles - you lucky
devils.

ENJOY!!!
