Default Clothing for Jan in Surfers

Hi guys,

Heading over to Surfers for 10 days on 8th Jan.

What clothing will I need?

Its been quite hot here in Perth so my everyday clothing is generally shorts and T Shirt for day wear and a light dress for evenings out.

Will the above be ok or should I bring long trousers for evenings ?

Need to start thinking of packing soon.

Cheers

Mags

long trousers sorry its been in the mid 30`s for the last few weeks and high 20`s at night
( allthough its cooler today due to the rain ) its still really sticky
so loose cotton or linen clothing would be best

I put my trousers away every year between about September and May.
Although I did have to get them out once for a wedding.

I have these three on my "Best British Style Indian Curry in Australia" list.
  • The Spice Avenue Balti Restaurant, Birkdale, Queensland, 4159,
  • Randhawa's Indian Cuisine, 340 Hope Island Rd, Hope Island, QLD 4212
  • Bombay Masala, 59 Railway St., Mudgeeraba, Gold Coast, QLD 4123.
The Birkdale one is an hour North of Surfers though.

Saffron at Broadbeach is good. Can be hot though, even normally mild things like mushroom bhajis was burning last time we went.
