Would a polytunnel be suitable for the Melbourne climate?

I want to build a polytunnel in my backyard for growing herbs, vegetables, etc.

Just wondering if it would be rather pointless as the main reason (as far as I can tell) for use would be to keep out the cold, as in England and the like. It does get cold (by my standards), but I don't know if it's cold enough to warrant a polytunnel. I'm about 30 minutes from the city by train, in the south to south-east area. Not by the water or anything either.

I love the idea of being able to keep away the birds and also some of the more harsh rain and wind.


What do you think?

Also, where would I go about finding supplies to build one? Instructions? Premade ones?
Have you found any websites with detailed instructions?
