We use it here to get rid of condensation from the windows when it's cold outside and warm inside, but will it be necessary in Perth in winter ?

The only possible use would be in a garage perhaps where you want to keep it really dry [I have some machine tools in my garage so I have a couple of the little pots of dehumidifier granules in there to keep rust away].

You won't need one in the house here I would imagine - I've never seen condensation on the inside here in winter as it doesn't really get cold enough outside and people tend only to heat up one or two rooms.

Thanks for that. Just the answer I was hoping for !

I shall leave it here, where it's needed most.

might be worth bringing, we definitely do get condensation on the colder nights in winter.... but not sure if it's worth bringing all that way just for a few weeks use...

Can't say I ever seen it on the inside in Winter - certainly nothing like the rivers of water I used to get in the UK.
