My Capri had aircon, and I could also put the roof down. I'll give Townsville this one thing. Convertibles at night are awesome. Nowhere near as much light pollution as other cities, and the temperature is great for it
The strand sucked once they built the cop shop, put in the roundabouts, and put in the speed bumps. Although, the car was so low that ANY speed bump in that town sucked nuts. Any driveway too for that matter.
