Hi, where are you going in Melbourne? We will be out in Berwick area around July (if house goes through....fingers crossed). Scary and exciting at the same time!
If all goes to plan, we will be out in the Berwick area too, from early to mid august. Our house is going thru at the moment, and should complete at the end of May. Would be good to meet up with new arrivals in the area when we get there.
We should be there in June all being well.Ive been told its not a bad time to make the move...out of season etc...any opinions ?
Just gotta find digs,car,job,friends etc
all good fun

June/July is the most depressing time to move to Melbourne for sure. Average temp is around 12-14 & it usually rains!
Keep your spirits up & if you're feeling a bit down take trip to the Gold Coast for some sun.
Weather usually starts to improve in September and then it's generally good until the following May.
Hi guys, hubby is a builder. Fingers crossed our house is still going through. Would love to meet up when get over there. First job...... buy a BBQ and then will have some fun with fellow expatters!

We made the move to Melbourne last June and even tho it was the start of winter it certainly wasnt depressing. The winters dont get any where near as cold as they do in the UK. Yes it did rain but when it did it was mainly at night so we were able to go out and about without having to take an umberella!! I can honestly only remember 1 day in winter last year when it rained constantly and we didnt go out. The sun seemed to be out most days and there were even days during the winter where the temp was in the 20s and we went to the beach with some Auzzie friends that we met.
When we got here the Auzzies were starting to wear winter coats, hats etc however we were fine with just our light weight jackets on.
To be honest for us this was the best time to start our new life as it was far easier to climatise to the weather slowly than it would have been had we come over when the temps were in the 40's.
Hope this helps Deb xx
P.S Having said all of the above its really cold here at the moment so come winter I think for us winter coats will be a must due to the fact that you climatise to the hot weather so quickly!!
