I was thinking about that. The outfits we've seen so far do have some black in them, and no actual color. It's hot out, it's summer. Sounds like they are also going to the beach.

Maybe the outfit means something. I remember being aghast at Princess Diana's funeral when Prince Charles wore a blue suit. Turned out later that that was her favorite suit and she liked it on him.

That's what I meant when I said maybe it means something different in Australia.

From Wundeground (weather): Right now it's 4:30pm Perth time and it's 82°F / 28°C. I wouldn't want to be wearing black if I didn't have to.

Heh. In Texas 82 F is a lovely day. I'd have no problem wearing a full black suit, complete with hat. It's when it's 95F that things start getting hot.
