weather in brisbane

[afiyafifi]

Everyone keeps asking what the weather is like in queensland in the summer , I am just wondering how cold does it get in winter do you need jumpers and coats ... karen

Jumpers??????????? more like fleeces,jeans and a bloody big wood heater ,lol...I was very niave in thinking it would take years to climatise!!how wrong was i ? i originally bought elec heaters for all the bedrooms then decided we really needed a fire,,mainly for the evenings during the day isnt too bad ,,but after tea and baths out comes the fleecey dressing gown( i was so glad i packed )and the kids into their flanelette pj's !!! hope this helps a bit

Hi , Been looking on the web and it has been raining loads, when we were in Brisbane Christmas before last it rained lots too!!

I don't want to seem to be shallow and know the rain is good for the country etc.. But does the sun actually shine for weeks on end in Brisbane??? Love the sun and although the whole move is not based on the Sun the sun will sure help brighten up our days in Oz!!

Thanks

Its been raining loads because its rainy season!!lol,,the sun does shine for weeks on end ,i dont remember half as much rain this time last year and the last floods anything like what happened lately were in 1991 ,so im guessing its not always this bad!!

Thanks for the reply Cal , I didnt realise it was rainy season I thought it was the Oz Summer time!!! See I have loads and loads to learn and everyday (almost) I'm learning something new before we even get there!!

Just watched the Wanted Down Under they were in Perth, there were so many negative things being said about going to Oz and it was quite a surprise that they still choose to go to Australia!!! I suppose once the thoughts in your head you just gotta try it anyway!

Got me intrested on that one to , tell all cal ... karen

[calNgary]

We filmed the pilot for the first series and got a free 2 week reccie!!!lol ,yes we came to brissy (although not where the bbc housed us) Gary did take the job offer but moved shortly after to the company that was (on the show) the coastal option.He is still there and gets on great with the lads.The film crew knew i didnt like spiders and well played on it ,they even had Zak saying at one point ''my mum wont move know'' which was total rubbish and they knew it ,,but hehe negativity makes good viewing,lol!! The icing on the cake was the bush walk when i flipped,,my only ''beep'' in the eniter show,we have the unedited version and finished version its great when you watch the two and see how they alter things,,all in all fantastic experience if a little scarey!!lol
