Yeah there is often a change, like in many countries, its just 4 seasons compared to stable Sunshine coast where they may get the one storm...at most..
You have to take the weather stats with a pinch of salt - its all bloody averages and trends anyhow. we ve had cold and rain for 2 weeks but the days of rain are getting fewer and the sunny ones are coming more frequent.
Maybe we will see the end of this episode soon and go back to the warm weather we had in October.
Its not too bad.

What a load of b*****ks. Its called a changeable day. Now if it snowed in the morning, blew a gale at lunchtime and all the leaves fell off the trees, then was baking hot in the afternnoon, followed by a pleasantly warm evening and all the leaves grew back, THAT would be 4 seasons in 1 day. A bit of rain and then sun is not.
Crowded house have alot to answer for !!

For all you other pedants out there, JTL is right, Melbourne has not yet developed the climate conditions depicted in the fictional 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

PS sorry JTL, had to delete your smilies in the quote as it told me there were too many otherwise...

Re: Brisbane Or Melbourne
We went on hols (for visa stampage) in May, Melbourne was okay (Great Ocean Road would be amazing on the motorbike!) but was probably put off by the fact it rained/really cloduy for 3 of the 5 days wer were there but preferred Brissie due to the heat, sunshine etc (and close proximity to Straddie!!!).
