Fremantle doctor
A cooling afternoon sea breeze which arrives in the city (Perth WA) about 30 minutes after it builds in the Port city of Fremantle: Ah, the Freo Doctor is in - the temperature will drop now. Compare Albany doctor, Esperance doctor. Also, Freo Doctor.
Contributor's comments: If you actually call the sea breeze that blows in Perth in the summer the "Freo Doctor", it's a sure sign that you are from 'over east'.
Contributor's comments: I grew up in Nedland WA and we always referred to the doctor arriving to make it better, meaning cool things down.
