December /January 2010- 2011....for 7 weeks.
We flew to Melbourne from Sydney (Tues to Saturday) and it never stopped raining until we were leaving. It was coming down like a monsoon all day and nights for 4 days
In hindsight it wasn't a good time to go...The trip was organised as a present from my youngest.
1. The exchange rate was rubbish.
2. Brisbane was under water with serious flooding and real fears that one of the dams would break, which would have caused unimaginable devastation and loss of life.
3. Cyclones in Cairns (GBR).
We really enjoyed Sydney and surrounding area, although I'd have enjoyed Australia alot more if my house hadn't been wrecked by a burst pipe, 2 weeks into the holiday.
You look like you've had a fab time....I'm pleased for you.
