Having lived in the Territory for many years before moving to Melbourne, I wouldn't recommend a leather car bra - for anyone, anywhere! All they do is trap tiny particles of dirt and dust between them and your paintwork, slowly scratching the hell out of your paint as you drive. Not a good idea, especially in the Dry season! The OziCozi film is pretty darn good, and rated at temperatures higher than you'll experience, even up north. Hope this helps
