Loobie, the weather patterns these days are like a lottery, last week I was cold, today I got sunburnt, some years ago my brother came out here in March, it peed it down for 2 weeks, he then went to Cairns to see the Barrier Reef, the water was so muddy because there had been a lot of rain up there also, so he did'nt see any coral etc, but at least he saw a waterfall that hadn't run for many years.
It's not cold here by English standards, going north is going into the tropics, so it should be warmer than Sydney, places to see on the way up, Port Maquarie, Coffs Harbour, & the most eastern part of Oz, Byron Bay, it's a nice view from the lighthouse there, then if you take the coastal route from there and go through Brunswick Heads, Kingscliffe, Tweed Heads & Coolangatta, you will get a good idea of what the areas are like.
The places we saw in Queensland that we liked were Tambourine Mt, Glasshouse Mts & the beach at Noosa, the Currumbin bird park was nice too, liking & loving particular places is a personal thing, I am quite happy living in our little bit of Paradise, the Illawarra, it's only just over an hour south of Sydney, a good day trip for anyone, same as Katoomba, a few hours west of Sydney, when you live here, you tend to take things for granted, especially sun, sand & surf.
Take a look at the pics on the Illawarra thread.
