I'm sure you'll enjoy the change if you're only worried about the weather then the rest will be easy as there are ways around it.

Oz - especially the Gold Coast - doesn't actually appear to have seasons. I'd miss that.

I think global warming has hit the UK as far as winter is concerned!! I heard the other day we've had the driest 5 months since records began; i
Only had the heating on twice so far and then its only been for 10 minutes. Altho' you see the price of gas and electricity these days and hypothermia is becoming an option fast!!
