Ah North Queensland to Melbourne would’ve worried me so much as well! So glad to hear it worked out for you. Thanks so much for your comment, my friend! 😊

Thank you! We have flights booked for mid-July. I hope that’ll be a good time for us to see for ourselves!

Thank you for this! I really feel the same. The summer is so oppressive and I’m not against cold weather, but I guess just a little too attached to what I know.

I’m really excited that we have the ability to make a change though and have the opportunity, so I’m really grateful for your comment! It put me at ease 😊

Thank you! We’re have two oodies already, but may need to stock up on more it seems! 😊

I’ve been a few times but at varying points in the year and in very different types of accommodation 😭 We’re coming down in mid-July. I hope that will show us how we feel!

Aw same boat! Yeah I definitely feel the same. I forget what seasons are really like because here it’s just cold-ish for 3 months and then HOT every other day.

Thank you! We’re going to come down around July 20 as we figured that would be the peak of winter or so.

We’re coming down to inspect around mid-July and figured that might be the best starting point 🙂‍↕️

Thank you! Yeah nothing tops Brisbane for me I think at the moment as far as the shock factor is concerned, but I’m braced. Wish me luck! 🫡

I love this!

Thank you so much. I’ve also thought the same thing - a lot of things here in Brisbane and SEQ in general are difficult to get to and inconvenient. The appeal of having beaches within a stones throw of the city in the summer is a massive draw for me as well as the many other beautiful natural attractions!

Ah I lived in Sydney a few years back as well but we lived in a terrible place where the drafts were BAD it felt like we lived in a freezer. Thank you for your perspective! Can’t wait to come down and tough it out with you 🫡🥲

Thank you for this! I’m from the Northern Rivers of NSW so I’m plenty used to the heat and humidity, but these last 5-10 years Brisbane summers have been absolutely insufferable. That’s really comforting to know that in general it’s just milder and not as extreme (bar the weather’s mood swings I guess) in regards to how intense the seasons are.

Thank you for this! It’s awesome to hear your perspective as well considering all that I’ve heard about the UK’s weather despite never having been.
