Quick question about Melbourne weather for those that know.
Just wondering what is the weather actually like year round in Melbourne. Visited in January and the weather was lovely. To put it simpler how cold does it get in the winter and how hot does it get in the summer. Whats the most rainy months and does it rain as much as is portrayed. Do they tend to get a lot of dry months or is the weather very unpredictable? Not that I'm too concerned living in the west or Ireland 
Did I hear right that you can go skiing in the winter about 3 hours outside Melbourne?

I imagine when you mean 'cold' you're not talking Canadian 'cold', hehe.
