We really didn't have a winter either. It got cold a few times but not drastically cold it only went below freezing about three times over the entire three months. 
We aren't heavy heating users in this house and use a reverse cycle air conditioner for our heater. Heating cost here vary depending on the source. Reportedly (and it may well be biased local reporting) we pay more for gas than most other developed countries, we also export it and those getting it pay less than we do so gas heating isn't overly cost effective in this country. Using gas to heat we used to notice about $100 extra over the winter period than the rest of the year where we only used gas for cooking and hot water. Since we stopped using gas to heat we seem to use about $30 extra power for the winter period. So electric is way more cost effective for us than gas.
