Dear Mext,

Thanks, it was well narrated and you almost took me there.

I am planning to travel late in March inshaAllah for validation. I am planning to open account online and will try to get my visa card over there and put some money in my account. Apart from that it's all holidays.

How many days are enough for Perth trip? I am also thinking of taking a trip to Melbourne.

Is it necessary to live near CBD/Hay Street? Can you pass on your research (flight/Hotel) if any? That will be a huge help.

Best regards,

Well rigman...forgot to touch upon this subject.

If you compare the summer with GCC, it was almost a joke except for Perth where it was comparable to a mild summer in Dubai. The temperatures reached up to 38 degrees when I was in Perth. The evenings were still fine and even in afternoon times we were able to walk outside.

In Sydney, it was like winters in Dubai, we had to wear light jackets some of the times. However my brother who lives in Sydney told me that it does get hotter some of the days but is still less than what we are used to in GCC.

In Auckland, it was really cold and the natives told us that this is the most that they get in summer, so you can imagine the winters in Auckland

So, to summarize, I think Perth can get sweltering few days in summer and the rest of the cities are surely bearable in summer.
