What shall we take ......
 
Hi guys,

As menthioned before, my family and I are going over to

Brisbane at the begining of July and staying until the begining of

Aug :) . I'm wondering what sort off clothes to take with us.

I know it's winter in Oz at this time but can i still pack my shorts?.

I'm really unsure as to what to take, should i be safe and pack

our woolies too.

Any tips would be great from anyone all ready their, or anyone

who has been their at this time of year.

THANK YOU.


LYNN

Hi I'd like to know this too. We're going over for June and part of July and I can only hope the weather is slightly better than here. (Dundee). It's cold, wet and miserable.

What's new!!

Hi richard,

Friends aren't in Gawler, but not far away from it :D and they are on the net but we tend to ring to chat... (use Onetel 4p per minute bargain;) )

Burra is another 115 km further north...

If your comming from UK you will have no trouble with our winter. It is more like an average English summer. Temp will be +20C every day and the nights might get down to around 10C.

I've lived here 3 years and never had to use any of my draw full of pullovers yet, but I occasionally put on a sweat shirt.

I cannot belive that Brits complain about it being cold in SE QLD when we get a better winter than most English summers.
