One word, Yes. The weather seems to have its own agenda up here. We got all that rain a couple of weeks ago, now its gone back to being hot! Must be nothing compared to down there though, the forecast gave VIC a 38°C max today!! :o I can tell you, I'm not envious of you right now!
Yeh, this is the time when I wish I lived down the beach, just be able to hit the surf and feel the refreshing water cooling me down. And using my futile attempts to prevent my skin from burning ;) Apparently we're meant to be getting some humidity as well which will not be fun. Experienced it in the rainforests of QLD which were unbelievable :D
Yeah, the beach does sound good. Shame it's an hour drive north or south before you find any decent beaches up here <_< Humidity sucks. I can stand the heat but as soon as the humidity starts to creep up the sweat starts and it gets all muggy and it's just generally unpleasant. Which rainforests did you end up going to?? They sure are breathtaking!
