And speaking of autumn, Canberra is one of the few places in Australia where you really can enjoy four distinct seasons with buckets of sunshine all year round.
You can expect warm to hot summers, clear, crisp winters, spectacular springs and balmy colourful autumns. Fact: Canberra enjoys more hours of sunshine than Sydney or the Gold Coast.

To completely satisfy the client, however, this copywriter would have to better heed the message of the introductory quote:

The French mother corrects the child with, 'Be wise.'
The Scandinavian mother says, 'Be friendly.'
The German mother says, 'Be in line.'
But the Hopi Indian mother says, 'That is not the Hopi way' (Raphel 2008)."
To do this, the copywriter would have to invest time with the client, one on one, and learn more, particularly the audience to be targeted for this campaign.
