Its looking like it could be sept/october time...which is your spring season right? So should be nice and warm! Sydney, melbourne etc is rpughly the main areas but we will be sitting down to study where we can get to within our 3 week trip Yep - that's spring. But it could still be cool (*) and variable that early in the season. But certainly ought be over the worst of winter. In Sydney around Oct ya oughta be well into the 20s - perhaps with a few days nudging close to 30 ... maybe.... Likely Sydney will be just slightly finer and just a little bit warmer than Melbourne. * Well, cool by Aussie standards. We don't do England style cold with snow and stuff - unless ya head for "the High Country"!

We want to travel light so dont want to take coats etc lol plus be good to come with a tan I'd say Oct would perhaps be more likely to have more consistant fine weather. Especially iffn ya wanna go southish - down Melb and, perhaps further. Inland especially will still be cold, especially at night (well, Ozzie cold anyway!) Hoping laurie9300 chimes in to add some local wisdom..... Tan? hehehe.... Watch for overdoing the sunbaking and getting a tan thing. Seriously - no kidding. Many UK/Euro tourists cook themselves to bad burns and hospital in their first day out in the sun. Pack ya sunburn cream. Take it easy and yeah, you'll get a tan.

Thing is the sunnier it is the more expensive the tickets are so i need to (drop) bear that in mind (see what i did there!?) Im excited and the tickets arent even booked yet!

Bright and breezy this morning. Had two glasses of Royal Salute and a bottle of Kopparberg, then bed. Hope all the heads clear quickly, or at least in time to start again tonight. Wee word of caution, don't drink and drive. If you THINK you are ok to drive, then you probably aren't so please don't risk it. Enjoy your day folks.
