Sweet as! Let us know when you're going to be in Wellington, eh?

Er....I think the Brissy fireworks have been cancelled, but at least the rain is warm Hope you get some better weather on the other side.

Bad weather in Australia???? Surely not! Must be a typo. After all, everyone says it's paradise.

Sounds like a plan. Try out the "Pig and Whistle" if you're passing.

Well it's still hot hot hot up here in Northland..so try and fit it into your travels, been gorgeous weather for a couple of weeks now and plenty of beautiful places to see...Tutukaka Beaches, Whale Bay, Cable Bay, Coopers Beach, Whangarei Falls

What's it like in winter up there, Phil? Is it a place a lot of Kiwis escape to in the June to August timeframe?

lardyl

well it can be like Brisbane is now.......last winter was a bad one on the rain front, Mrach and July as I recall.
Back OT, feel free to look us up in the Hibiscus Coast, shall be here until 7th and got some friends coming over from Adelaide on 5th! So sooner rather than later is probably best - you can walk to the beach from ours in, erm, 2 or 3 minutes Feel free to PM.

Shame about the weather last night in Brissy, perhaps you can come over again for Australia Day?

Remember Waitangi Day 2007? guess we all get dreadful weather now and again.
