We are heading for Brisbane - chose it because its a smaller city than Sydney and also warmer weather (and the sea is warmer) - if you like it really hot - Cairns looks very hot - its 8:30 pm now and 21deg!
This is a good site as it gives average high and low temperatures and rainfall per month:
Cairns: http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?we...=Cairns%2c+AUS

This one gives all the major cities on one page:
http://www.aboutaustralia.com/Weather.htm

This one gives the sea temperatures - this was important to us because we actually want to swim in it !
http://www.livingin-australia.com/se...-australia.htm
This site also has loads of other infomation too by the way...about the cities - pro's and con's on Brisbane for example and it has an interesting artical called :
Are you the sort of Person Who will settle successfully in Australia?

As you can see I am obsessed by the weather and this was a major part of research when deciding where to head to

Lots of info on Brisbane... http://www.ourbrisbane.com/

Happy dreaming everyone!

Not exchanged yet - I thought the buyer was being a bit optimistic. OH wants to stay in the Uk for another bloomin Christmas as he's just taken on another 6 month contract. So we're going into rented. Just going to have a look at one this morning.

You will be there in a month or 2 though!!! Exciting!!!
