noun 
  1. (Australia, mainly New South Wales) A summer cold front which works its way up the coast, bringing strong cool southerly winds to replace and relieve hot conditions.
1850: It is almost a corollary, that the evening of a hot-wind day brings up a 'southerly buster', as we have heard the vulgar call it, very chill indeed ... as this wind comes from the southerly region of the Australian Alps. — B. C. Peck, Recollections of Sydney
