Nice idea, Anya. But we're Perth-bound...shame we can't move dh's employer! I think the climate would suit me a lot better in Victoria (not being a great heat lover! ), but it's not an option. Once we get our PR maybe...

Unless you are living in the far north of OZ there will be freezing nights in OZ during winter, for example where l live in Victoria it has gotten down to
zero and 1 or 2 degrees overnight recently.

I'm going to miss the snow. Not that we have it often down here in the SW, but I do love it.
It snows in OZ during winter in the states of N.S.W , Victoria and Tasmania.
There are ski resorts in Southern NSW and eastern Victoria.

This again depends on which part of Oz, you're going to. In December in Melbourne the sun goes down at 9.30pm and it's a lot warmer than June in UK. If you're going to QLD then you will miss the late nights.
