Re: Weather in May?? (NSW)
Well... this could be interesting then 
I expect we'll look like tourists for a while, which I don't mind. On the bright side if we do end up staying at least we'll be able to ease into an Australian summer. I told my husband it's better to arrive in the coldest part of the year than the hottest, at least for us anyway.
I guess the best thing to do would be to check the weather during the day there for a while before hand.

And parts of the Tablelands can be decidedly chilly (and not just in the Snowy Mountains - think of Orange or Oberon in the Central Tablelands west of Sydney for example, or the upper Blue Mountains, where the fog can descend and bring a damp chill that goes through to the bones.

I have looked at climate charts loads of times but they aren't all that helpful for knowing what clothes to take - they seem to suggest that it could be cold or hot depending on the day! Not helpful! I'm planning to arrive with a couple of pairs of long trousers and some 3/4 length, plus maybe a skirt or two. Tops-wise I think layers have to be the answer - then can add/remove as required! A pair of trainers will see my feet through until we get the rest of our things. What's the worst that could happen? I might have to go shopping for new things?
I can live with that! (Comet - we'll arrive just ahead of you, I'll pm you some uptodate clothing info!)

That's our thinking too - it would be a bit of a shock to my system to leave in the English winter and arrive in an Australian summer. So instead we have two winters in a row...
