The sun does not shine as much as the name suggests but when it does it gets bloody hot in the summer....you will be OK if you take precautions....never ever work in the Sun without a top on...and always splash loads ofsun- creme on your legs every couple of hours....always wear a hat..(cut off the corks) and just be SUN-WISE.....and you will be Bonza mate.
Ohhhh and when it's winter bring a brollie and a thick-jumper, because I tell you what....If you think you have seen rain in the UK....wait till you get here.

Err Earlswood what do you know about the Sunshine Coast, you've never been there and you live in Perth?

Because Oz is a Country which has ....errrrrr sunshine,
which is harmful no matter where you are....telling a bloke who is going to work in it to cover up is OK in my book, unfortunalty only Brits seem to like to work in the sun with their shirts off which will most probably do them great harm in the future..
Hi everyone, as the application of our residential visa approaches my girlfriend and i are in need of a little advice. After a huge amount of discussion we have finally decided we would like to emigrate to somewhere on the sunshine coast. However, as i am a joiner and work outside a fair amount of the time, i was wondering whether the climate would get a little too much to work in?
Is there anyone in this situation? Any advise would be a bonus.
Cheers.

Hey Jay Mc,
I live on the Sunshine Coast, and to be honest, it's been warm here, but not unbearable. Once you acclimatise, I don't think you'd have any problem working in it. Might be a little uncomfortable at first, but you have to remember you have moved from the UK to Australia! Our last 2 summers have been pretty crap anyway (I'm a sunlover!). As always, I would advise you to come here and visit for at the very least 2 weeks in the middle of summer just to check if you like the climate. If you personally feel the climate is too warm as a tourist, don't even bother thinking about working here, you'll probably hate it!
I hope you decide to move here! I personally love the Sunshine Coast!
Last summer here(Brisbane) it rained most of the time.
No storms,just humid wet heat with rain.
But when the sun does come out then by jove it's hot hot hot and you will need to cover up.Get a wide brimmer and drink loads of water,but you'll still end up going to bed at 9 o'clock prompt,cause you'll be knacked.

why does everyone go to bed at about that time in Oz....it's the same in perth.....mind you everywhere is shut at 5 anyways.
and just be SUN-WISE.....and you will be Bonza mate.
